Sommario/riassunto |
|
The author approaches the idea of deliberative democracy with reservation, attempting to expose the vain hopes rooted in the Enlightenment tradition, and encourages reflection on the appeal of deception in a world which has become the media's ‹grazing ground› and which rejects metaphysics in favour of pragmatic theories. |
