Answering the question 'How is fruitful discussion possible?', this
book addresses the central philosophical issue of how reason shall
be understood and how it is limited. This study argues that the
understanding of discussion according to which it necessarily
starts from putative universal norms and rules for argumentation is
problematic, among other reasons since such rules are unfruitful in
contexts where there are vast disagreements such as religion.
Inspired by Wittgensteinian ideas, Strandberg develops instead a
new way of understanding discussion, truth and rationality which
escapes these problems, and shows how this solution can be used to
answer the accusation against Wittgensteinian philosophy for being
conservative and resulting in fideism.
