ABSTRACT This essay explores and expands themes presented initially in Just Relationships, Part One, Imagining Just Relationships: Perspectives. I begin by situating the idea of justice within the assertion that relationships are moral entities. As such, communication scholars, through a focus on mindful dialogue, have a unique opportunity to recognize relationships as moral (i.e., that which makes us human). From there I make the conceptual move that “just” relationships can only be achieved through love, not by trying to exact justice. Through love “a third way” emerges from classic human tensions, such as cognition-emotion and law-mercy, transforming relational perspectives. The final section of the essay focuses on advocacy as love in action, an extension of third way principles that depict advocacy in personal relationships as creating spaces where if good things can happen, they will. That is, love in action creates safe spaces where individuals find their own voices and their full humanity.

公正的关系：第三种沟通道德

摘要本文探讨并扩展了最初在正义关系中提出的主题，第一部分，想象正义关系：观点。首先，我将正义的概念置于断言关系是道德实体的主张之内。因此，传播学者通过专注于正念对话，有独特的机会将人际关系视为道德（即使我们成为人的关系）。在此，我提出了概念上的举措，即“正义”的关系只能通过爱来实现，而不能通过追求正义来实现。通过爱，“第三种方式”从经典的人类紧张关系中出现，例如认知，情感和法律仁慈，改变了关系观。本文的最后部分将倡导作为行动中的爱，第三方式原则的扩展，该方式将倡导人际关系描述为创造空间，如果发生好事，它们就会发生。也就是说，行动中的爱创造了一个安全的空间，人们可以在其中找到自己的声音和完全的人性。
