A Fluid Ideal: Dialectical Virtues and the Possibility of Debate

James Crosswhite University of Oregon

Abstract

ABSTRACT The notion of debate suggests an orderly controversy and so contains an implicit ideal of orderliness. This orderliness has a fluid reality but is structured by a regard for procedural equality. This ideal becomes possible in practice only to the degree that participants in debate are guided by habits and capabilities described here as dialectical virtues.
