This book explores what new light philosophical approaches shed on a deeper understanding of (im)politeness. There have been numerous studies on linguistic (im)politeness, however, little attention has been paid to its philosophical underpinnings. This book opens new avenues for both (im)politeness and philosophy.  It contributes to a fruitful dialogue among philosophy, pragmatics, and sociology.  This volume appeals to students and researchers in these fields.
