In our current political climate, it seems impossible to have a civil conversation with someone who has a different opinion. Dialogue is shut down when perspectives clash. Heated debates on Facebook and Twitter often lead to shaming, hindering any possibility of productive discourse.
In this book, How to Have Impossible Conversations, Peter Boghossian and James Lindsay
describe the process of having effective, civil discussions about any divisive issues — not just religious faith but climate change, race, gender, poverty, immigration, and gun control.
