“ The ontological and the normative force of communication generates a strong political imperative to assert itself as the most democratic principle to guide human interaction. From this perspective, to recognize oneself as a subject who communicates is the first step toward the democratic reconciliation of self and other. The ability of communication to assert an ontological, normative, and political priority makes abundantly clear why, according to Briankle Chang, the “enemy of communication is indifference.” Indifference is the biggest threat because communication is advocated as a pedagogy for the soul, and without one’s full attention to how communication cares for the soul, all is lost.
