The paper challenges the received view regarding rationality and dialogue . According to Leibniz, different kinds of rationality not only co-exist but also do not exclude each other or attempt to render the other acceptable or intelligible only in one's own terms. The relevant distinction for the construal of conflicting rationalities is that between hard and soft rationality.
