talking past each other
Talking past each other is an English phrase meaning two or more people talking about different subjects, while they believe that they are talking about the same thing.
Talking past each other is an idiomatic expression describing a situation in which people in a discussion proceed at cross purposes. There is a mismatch.〔The English phrase is like the Chinese idiomatic expression "chicken talking to a duck" (鸡同鸭讲 or 雞同鴨講).〕
In other words, "those who subscribe to alternative, incommensurable paradigms are bound to a degree to ''talk past each other''."〔Gutting, Gary. (1980). ''Paradigms and Revolutions,'' p. 110.〕(''italics'' and underline added)
== History ==
The idiomatic expression is an allusion to the interaction between Thrasymachus and Socrates over the question of "justice" in Plato's ''Republic I.'' In their dialogue, neither man addressed any of the issues raised by the other and two different concepts which need not have been disputed are somehow confused.〔Gallie, Walter Bryce, "Essentially Contested Concepts," ''Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society'', Vol. 56, (1956), pp.168.〕
