In our current political climate, it seems impossible to have a reasonable conversation with anyone who has a different opinion. Whether you’re online, in a classroom, an office, a town hall - or just hoping to get through a family dinner with a stubborn relative - dialogue shuts down when perspectives clash. Heated debates often lead to insults and shaming, blocking any possibility of productive discourse. Everyone seems to be on a hair trigger.
In How to Have Impossible Conversations, Peter Boghossian and James Lindsay guide you through the straightforward, practical, conversational techniques necessary for every successful conversation - whether the issue is climate change, religious faith, gender identity, race, poverty, immigration, or gun control. Boghossian and Lindsay teach the subtle art of instilling doubts and opening minds. They cover everything from learning the fundamentals for good conversations to achieving expert-level techniques to deal with hardliners and extremists. This book is the manual everyone needs to foster a climate of civility, connection, and empathy.

A useful prefatory technique is for the “contenders” to calmly express, in honest terms, the other person’s position in its optimal manifestation. This can build empathy & allows everyone to gauge how fair people are willing to be. It illustrates also the level of knowledge held by opposing parties.
It’s a lawyerly method & competence. It’s one of the debating exercises performed in moot court - supposed to augment argumentational dynamism & proficiency.
This is not, by any means, the great age of debate. Far too much emotion & aggression on the scene.

Very surprised to find this title under you name D. Very anti-marxist and you being the biggest proponent of well socialism, communism and any other marxist-based philosophy. So, I guess I have to ask, did you read this and have you rethought your support of these guys?
