<i>Dialogic Ethics</i> exposes the domain of communication and rhetoric as the art of discourse. Moreover, it extends the conceptual sphere of ethicality, forming the social design of personal morality, to the customary participation in the world of dialogic competences and practices that integrate human and non-human agents with multivoicedness of nature and culture, both interpersonally and intersubjectively.

What is the Call, the natality, the ‘truth-telling’ and the hope in a dialogue? How do we in dialogues and communication step aside in order for the Other and for the Phenomenon to speak for her-, him- or itself? This book gives impressive reflections on and a lush bouquet of insights into dialogic ethics and mystery of the dialogical moment. It is a must-read for students as well as an inspiration for scholars and researchers in philosophy and communication studies. In short: It gives hope for a human and dialogical future.
