Keywords: etymological paradox of ‘communication’; sanskrite roots; Deliberative; democracy; Habermas’s paradigm
Summary/Abstract: The language-roots of communication have forked derivations. There is the Latin communis, but an ancient compound is the Proto-Indo-European ko-moin-i- (“held in common”). The suffixes mei and meith (“to change, go, move”) together with base tra (“instrument”) have given mitras (“contractual partener”, “alternating reciprocity”). In Sanskrit,methati, myth mean “to meet a friend or an enemy”. The bivalences contained by this complex semantic space are nurturing the modern “communication”, and they can be found as tacit assumptions in Habermas’s communication paradigm
