By Edward Langerak *72

Published Jan. 21, 2016

(Georgetown University Press) This book is designed to show how, in an increasingly pluralistic world, we can remain appropriately open toward opponents while staying true to our convictions. It discusses how our conversations and arguments can respect differences and maintain personal integrity and civility even while taking stances on disputed issues, such as gay marriage. Langerak is a professor emeritus of philosophy at St. Olaf College.
