Ethics and Socratic Dialogue in Civil Society Edited by Patricia
Shipley and Heidi Mason, published by LIT Verlag (Munster)
2004 What is the role of civil society in a modern democracy? How can we
build a common identity in today’s fragmented societies? What can be done to
counteract the growing disillusionment with representative forms of government
and diminishing participation in formal political systems? How might dialogue be
used as a tool to foster understanding both within and between nations and
cultures? This volume represents a concerted attempt to think through the difficult and urgent issues facing civil society today. It considers the potential role of dialogue, especially modern Socratic Dialogue, to help to answer some of the ethical questions and issues arising in civil society. Find Out More. Order a copy.

The society
previously published Hijatus by Nermina Kurspahic.
Nermina Kurspahic lives and works in an apartment in the heart of Sarajevo the
capital of Bosnia- Herzegovina. Her essays concern the phenomenon of illness,
the army as an institution and war games, about the place of women in a male
world, the Balkan policy of half life and cover a multitude of themes.
Hijatus or Hiatus in the title refers to the frustrating way speech can desert
us, at the moment we most need it to protest, when faced with war and terrible
cruelty. This has a particular resonance in her case as soon after writing these
essays war broke out in the Balkans confirming in the most horrific way many of
her predictions. Read an extract from the book's
section 'Woman in a mans world'.
