Abstract
The paper describes a form a non-Socratic dialogue which aims at exposing oneself to the normative critique of interlocutors with different commitments. It further argues that such exposure is the only way in which one can achieve critical distance from one's own commitments. It goes on to explore the epistemic and political virtues of this form of dialogue.
Zusammenfassung
Der Beitrag beschreibt eine Form des nicht-sokratischen Dialogs, die darauf abzielt, sich der normativen Kritik von Gesprächspartnern mit Überzeugungen, die sich von den eigenen unterscheiden, zu stellen. Es wird zudem argumentiert, dass eine solche Auseinandersetzung die einzige Möglichkeit ist, eine kritische Distanz zu den eigenen Überzeugungen zu gewinnen. Es werden ferner die erkenntnistheoretischen und politischen Vorzüge dieser Form des Dialogs untersucht.
