Summary/Abstract: A holistic interpretation – in terms of what Brandom (2000) calls „the ontological priority of the social” - of the appeal to subjectivity, interpretation that defines assertions as the assumptions of responsabilities to other participants to what Brandom calls the „game of giving and asking for reasons”, and a Rortyian pragmatist interpretation of the Berlin’s notion of value pluralism (Rorty, 2007) may contribute to an understanding of value-based public deliberative argumentation in terms of what Sartori (2001) calls „dialectic of dissension” rather than in those of Kock’s „enduring dissensus” (Kock, 2003; 2006; 2007; 2009a; 2009b).
