The Possibility of Discussion: Relativism, Truth and Criticism of Religious Beliefs (Ashgate New Critical Thinking in Philosophy)

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.
