Episode 18: What is Discourse?

The term 'discourse' means different things to different academic disciplines. There's a difference, for example, between political vs. scientific discourse. In this episode, we explore what discourse means to Baha'is, focusing on five key characteristics:
1. A unifying focus;
2. We view discourse as consultative;
3. We strive for an uplifting approach;
4. Our contributions are principled;
5. We focus on constructive solutions.
We close the episode also exploring approaches which we should avoid.
