What's the point of polemics ?

Is a dialogue of the deaf an absolute dead end ?

Media debates for or against immigration control often result in a dialogue of the deaf, which is perceived as an absolute dead end. In contrast, we will attempt to demonstrate that, paradoxically, arguing the values invoked by polemicists can overcome the aporia and open the way from ethical questioning to proposed solutions. This unexpected facet of the dialogue of the deaf will be analyzed in the context of media articles where we can observe the putting into words of a "logic of the preferable".
