Resolution of differences found through arguments. Dialogue drives human relationships whether it is argumentation or harmonious courtship. Even though these two things follow very closely to one another they show that dialogue is essential to find a resolution to any situation. As the book states "be a learner and listener" first.(p.90) This follows any form of a conversation, to first listen to what is being said or communicated. Then dialogue can be transitioned into a monologue so that ones own image of how the dialogue should be flowing. After this then taking into account of the Other and to rule out any sense of bias one might have towards the Others point of view. Finally dialogue can be connected to the content and the idea of learning. All of these processes are based on the thought of respect.
Ethos would come across as ambiguous to most people, but in the case of Dialogic Ethics it plays an enormous role. In the amount of reasoning why someone would listen to the Others grounds and could possibly sway our own grounds to agree. Dialogic Ethics has a large amount of gray area compared to all white or all black. In Les Miserables inviting a known felon into a house full of silver and gold seems to invoke the possibility of harm and loss. It would seem to be a bad idea to allow this to happen but the bishop shows no remorse saying that he gave the silver as a gift.
