First published in 1998. The emphasis upon differences, plurality
and multiculturalism has led to an outpouring of information that
has been interpreted by theories such as pragmatism,
communitarianism, feminism, postmodern discourse and liberation
ethics. Up to now, these issues have been seen as particular and
external objects for theoretical discussion. This book goes to the
heart of the matter and opens promising avenues for further
philosophical reflection on these topics. Having the conception of
communication in discourse theory as point of departure, scholars
of distinct philosophical backgrounds move in and out of different
contexts to offer a first-hand and in-depth account of the above
positions in their dialogue with discourse theory. By establishing
a web, they connect distinct issues that have been dealt with only
separately thus far, without losing sight of differences. In the
end, A Matter of Discourse shows that pluralism and
multiculturalism are to be found within philosophy itself.
