Demokratische Streitkultur in Zeiten politischer Polarisierung

In recent years, the need to reflect on the conditions for a culture of debate that promotes democracy has become virulent in Germany. There are signs that a moderate pluralism has developed into a polarized one in this country. As a result, the climate of debate deteriorated and the willingness to accept dissenters and to argue with them in a civilized manner declined on the political fringes.
The book highlights the diverse aspects of political disputes and political polarization and develops ideas about what characterizes a democratic culture of disputes and what attitudes people need to adopt in order to argue constructively. Finally, it touches on the question of what contribution educational processes can make to shaping argument competence.
