Communication Ethics and Tenacious Hope captures the "unity of contraries," offering the Scottish Enlightenment as an exemplar of tenacious hope countering the excesses of individualism. Ronald C. Arnett reveals two stories: the struggle between optimism and tenacious hope, and optimism's ultimate triumph in the exclusion of difference and the reification of progress as an ultimate good.
