I began this chapter by examining the features of a dialogue that make a political dialogue a deliberative dialogue. The procedural requirements of publicity, equality, reasonableness, dynamic revision, and transformation, along with the substantive requirements of decision, consensus, and legitimacy, are constitutive of an inclusive deliberative decision-making process. Inclusive deliberation is a constructivist dialogue, able to accommodate the pluralist nature of associations between alternative worldviews by including the relevant resources relative to the worldviews of the participants in the deliberation. In this way, deliberative inclusion extends the scope of political dialogues, an important step in overcoming the dialogue-ending and dialogue-restricting effects of the politics of paradox. I now turn to public reason (which encompasses the related themes of reason, reasonableness, and reasoning styles) and its relation to equality in an intercultural deliberation.
