In the first part of their 1958 Traite de l’argumentation,Chaim Perelman and Lucie Olbrechts-Tyteca describe several conditions that must obtain in order for argumentation to take place,and they gather some of these conditions together under the heading of “The Contact of Minds”.These conditions have an important role in that they specify both what is necessary in order for argumentation to be genuine and also the ground on which any particular instance of argumentation can be criticized.I make a case that the conditions for the contact of minds can be best understood as rhetorical capabilities.I draw from current discussions of capabilities in political philosophy and in economics and in the theory of justice to offer a more complicated picture of what realizing these conditions would mean.In the end,these capabilities describe goals both for education in a global context and for human development itself.
