ThemesDialogue versus debate
What is this about?
Why is this important?
Research integrity issues often require thorough consideration, as it is not always simple to apply rules and to know what is the right action given a code of conduct. A dialogue can help to find ways to deal with such issues. A dialogue can take place within the research team, or in a group aiming at reflection on research integrity issues.
The idea of dialogue is not only being nice and friendly. The aim is to come to a better view of the situation, gaining knowledge and understanding. This requires that one seriously investigates the relevance of the perspective of the other. Being open to the perspective of the other does not mean simply giving up one’s own point of view, but being prepared to learn from the other’s point of view. By exchanging perspectives, dialogue can result in a fusion of horizons.[1]
It is important to distinguish dialogue from debate. In a nutshell, the most relevant differences are the following :[2][3]
- Dialogue focuses on learning from differences; debate focuses on finding the one right answer
- Dialogue focuses on understanding the other; debate focuses on convincing the other
- Dialogue focuses on listening and questioning; debate focuses on speaking and arguing
- Dialogue focuses on looking for strengths in the position of the other; debate focuses on looking for weaknesses in the position of the other
- Dialogue focuses on exploring and considering; debate focuses on attacking and defending
- Dialogue focuses on thinking slow; debate focuses on thinking fast
- Dialogue focuses on reflection and learning; debate focuses on concluding and deciding

For whom is this important?
What are the best practices?
The philosophical importance of dialogue has been elaborated in philosophical hermeneutics. [1][2]
Moral Case Deliberation is an example of group reflection on moral issues through dialogue.[1] In MCD, a morally troublesome situation is investigated by a group, guided by a facilitator. During the investigation, the conflicting values in the situation are examined in dialogue.
