Contemporary democratic discourses are frequently, though not
exclusively, characterized by an attitude of 'pro and con' where
the aim is to persuade others, a jury or an audience, of what is
right and what is wrong. Challenging such procedures, this book
teases out an alternative model of public discourse that is based
in collaboration and deliberation. The African philosophy of ubuntu
offers valuable insights in this regard as it implies relational
notions of power that contrast and complement individualist facets.
It provides the space to think and speak in ways that support
harmonious and cohesive societal structures and practices. The
book's model of communication rests on the premise that the various
interests of individuals and groups, while richly diverse, can be
conceived of as profoundly bound-up rather than incompatible. In
this way communication enables broader lines of action and a wider
scope for achieving diversity and common ground.
