Whenever I come across such ideas it makes me want to more deeply investigate the Communicative Rationality [1] of Jurgen Habermas. Despite modern trends towards a conservative stoicism (e.g. Jordan Peterson) I actually think Social Critical Theory feels to be moving in the more-correct direction. However, the current negative association with moral-relativism and postmodernism is a new McCarthyism. The bridge should be pragmatism but even that is too closely associated with socialism.
Too many isms but the ones that are scaring me most now are authoritarianism, fascism and totalitarianism. Ideas like communicative rationality feel to me like the most reasonable solutions.
