In this paper, I propose a new model for the possibility of equality in communication, and attempt to develop humanistic ideas about it. With regard to matters of communication, there is a theoretical project to secure the normativity of communication relying on universality in language activity, on the one hand, but there is criticism from the social sciences that emphasis on universal normativity may be too idealy, tic and give rise to an illusion of communication concealyng the existing inequality, on the other hand. The science of communication has analyzed and described precisely the causes of inequality from a critical viewpoint. Another approach to the matter of communication is to pursue economic equality based on the image of family or of one body, and thereby to secure equality in communication. However, such an image makes difficult the prevention of totalitarian hierarchization and closedness of community. Against such, the ethics of the Other or the ethic of hospitality is also proposed, but such proposals tend to restrict the matter to the realm of ethics, excluding a political approach.
