On meaning and import of deliberation in democratic theory
Mladenović Ivan (Filozofski fakultet, Odeljenje za filozofiju, Beograd)
This paper aims to clarify the meaning and importance of deliberation in
theory of democracy. In particular, it will examine two meanings of
deliberation, i.e. deliberation as discussion, and deliberation as reflective
rationality. The author maintains that both meanings are of great importance
for the theorist of democracy interested in solving the paradoxes of
voting-based theories.
Keywords: democracy, deliberation, voting, public debate, collective decision-making
