ABSTRACT

Public philosophy is an attempt to bring political practice and political theory in dialogue with each other. It brings together two types of dialogues of reciprocal elucidation in response to political problems. Grounded in the diversity-aware, nonviolent relationships of mutual learning with each other, the participants begin the second phase of dialogues of reciprocal elucidation. One of the most influential and well-researched examples of joining hands is the long historical attempt to decolonise the colonial relationships of the dominant settler systems over Indigenous peoples by means of “linking arms” together through nation-with-nation resurgent, transformative, and reconciliatory treaty relationships. Participatory democratic, ecosocial everyday relationships of mutual aid are the permaculture of healthy delegative and accountable representative democratic governments.
