The model facilitates participatory discourse and exhibits what I call ‘deliberation culture’ rather than ‘argument culture’. It is based on an analysis of talk shows sampled from South Africa and the United States and builds on the existing literature of ubuntu-based ethics. As such, ‘deliberation culture’ challenges the prevailing approach of current democratic discourses, which pan out as contests of power between inherently conflicting interests and which are riddled with challenges, costs and consequences. In light of these, other non-adversarial approaches to public discourse are worth considering. This requires adopting an alternative realism, which opens a space for discursive inquiry that is participatory, exploratory and effective and the question becomes: how can we reframe public discourses to promote this end? The African philosophy of ubuntu offers valuable insights into this endeavor as it espouses relational notions of power that contrast and complement individualist facets. It provides the space to develop the language and concepts to think and speak in ways that support cooperative societal structures and practices such as ‘deliberation culture’. Deliberation culture rests on the premise that humanity is essentially one and that the various interests of individuals and groups, while diverse and textured, can be conceived of as... , D.Litt. et Phil.
