Abstract

This article presents some of the characteristic features which, in the context of deliberative politics, can be highlighted within the inclusive function of dialogue as suggested by authors such as Jürgen Habermas and Richard Rorty. In addition to reviewing the ideas of these authors, it will demonstrate that the process of inclusion cannot be achieved simply through dialogue, but that a conscious decision must be made that leads to a broadening of moral and conversational limitations in order to make inclusion possible. This type of decision is exemplified by the peace talks between the Colombian government and the guerrillas of the FARC in Havana, Cuba.
