Two prominent voices in the ongoing discussion are Amy Gutmann and Dennis Thompson. In Why Deliberative Democracy?, they move the debate forward beyond their influential book, Democracy and Disagreement. What exactly is deliberative democracy? Why is it more defensible than its rivals? By offering clear answers to these timely questions, Gutmann and Thompson illuminate the theory and practice of justifying public policies in contemporary democracies. They not only develop their theory of deliberative democracy in new directions but also apply it to new practical problems. They discuss bioethics, health care, truth commissions, educational policy, and decisions to declare war. In "What Deliberative Democracy Means," which opens this collection of essays, they provide the most accessible exposition of deliberative democracy to date. They show how deliberative democracy should play an important role even in the debates about military intervention abroad. Why Deliberative Democracy? contributes to our understanding of how democratic citizens and their representatives can make justifiable decisions for their society in the face of the fundamental disagreements that are inevitable in diverse societies. Gutmann and Thompson provide a balanced and fair-minded approach that will benefit anyone intent on giving reason and reciprocity a more prominent place in politics than power and special interests. 606 $aDemocracy$zUnited States 606 $aForums (Discussion and debate) 606 $aPolitical ethics 606 $aCompromise (Ethics) 606 $aRepresentative government and representation 606 $aDeliberative democracy 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDemocracy 615 0$aForums (Discussion and debate) 615 0$aPolitical ethics. 615 0$aCompromise (Ethics) 615 0$aRepresentative government and representation. 615 0$aDeliberative democracy. 676 $a321.8 700 $aGutmann$b Amy, $0129214 702 $aThompson$b Dennis, 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910345145803321 996 $aWhy Deliberative Democracy$92564344 997 $aUNINA
