Title
Deliberation and Democratic Legitimacy
Abstract/Description
In this essay I explore the ideal of a ‘deliberative democracy’.1 By a deliberative democracy I shall mean, roughly, an association whose affairs are governed by the public deliberation of its members. I propose an account of the value of such an association that treats democracy itself as a fundamental political ideal and not simply as a derivative ideal that can be explained in terms of the values of fairness or equality of respect.
