Abstract: This chapter views the final possible step in terms of fleshing out, at the most general and abstract level, the implications for ethics and law of the adoption of post-foundationalism, precisely in terms of this necessary plurivocality. There is a considerable body of work, both within legal theory and beyond, that the author can draw on to this end; in particular, from a movement in the United States that has viewed the concept of rhetoric not, as did Perelman, in its sense of a theory of argumentation given to it by Aristotle, but rather in a much more holistic sense, of the myriad ways in which we use language to create meaning and thus to construct and define our social relations and, ultimately, our communities.Keywords: argumentation paradigm; Aristotle; ethics; Rhetorical literary; social relations
