A Durkheimian Take On Dialog

3/11/2014

As Durkheim might have put it, there are non-dialogical foundations of dialogue that contain moral directives in themselves. If the spirit of dialogue gets cultivated, it may serve not only to overcome the epistemological fragmentation of our discipline but its growing division along particularistic lines. Perhaps it is time for sociology to recover the robustly ecumenical outlook it evinced when the discipline was being established a century ago and to model, for the world community, a way of resolving the cultural crisis of our time.

-Donald Levine, Visions of the Sociological Tradition (1995)

these dialogues are semantic enough and have a lot of ground under themselves

The primary word I-Thou can be spoken only with the whole being. Concentration and fusion into the whole being can never take place through my agency, not can it ever take place without me. I become through my relation to the Thou; and as I become the I, I say Thou. All real living is meeting.
