Hanging together : role based constitutional fellowship and the challenge of difference and disagreement This book investigates how citizens who have differences and disagreements ought to relate to one another in a liberal democracy. Specifically this book advances a metaphor of citizenship that I call role based constitutional fellowship. Role based constitutional fellowship I argue is a desirable way for citizens to relate to one another in conditions of modern pluralism where multiple races ethnicities religions and economic statuses exist (difference) and where citizens adhere to and pursue competing political interests creeds and objectives (disagreement). Under role based constitutional fellowship citizens share a sense that they are united in a common aim and that they are largely committed to doing what is necessary to pursue that aim that they are fellows. I describe this sense of fellowship as constitutional and role based: Introduction: Difference disagreement and civic aggression Aiming too high aiming too low : the limits of discourse and ourse and contestation Fellowships forefather : moving beyond Aristotelean fellowship Broadening the base : the necessity and dilemmas of liberal nationalism Three dimensions of trust Principled pragmatists principled purists and the liberal democratic front Talking shouting back and listening better Justifying (and constraining) salutary hypocrisy Facilitating fellowship : translucent veils unlikely associations and constraints on campaigns Conclusion: The question of borders and problem of enemies.
