The contributors of these 13 articles modestly propose to initiate a conversation that considers that there is more than merely self-interested wisdom, and that ＂my＂ theory or ＂our kind＂ of
people may not contain all the answers. Contributors describe what the bias of their work suggests when considering cosmopolitanism and provinciality in communication ethics, covering such
topics as the aspect of the universal in humans, aesthetic love and romantic love, discourse promoting cosmopolitanism, Levinas on communication ethics outside of originative agency,
globalization in dialogic ethics, religion and dialogue, community at the end of the world, Grimké’s dialogic ethic, eros and logos is Plato’s Sophia, scripting Jewishness within the satire The
Hebrew Hammer, the reasonableness of bias, Limbaugh and public dismissiveness, and the concepts of response, responsibility and commitment in Arendt, Adorno and Benjamin. Suitable for
upper-level undergraduate and graduate students. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
