This effort to renew democratic politics is widely seen as a reaction to the dominance of liberal constitutionalism. But many questions surround this new project. What does deliberative democracy stand for? What difference would deliberative practices make in the real world of political conflict and public policy design? What is the relationship between deliberative politics and liberal constitutional arrangements? \u003cbr\u003eThe 1996 publication of Amy Gutmann and Dennis F. Thompsons \u003cem\u003eDemocracy and Disagreement\u003c\/em\u003e was a signal contribution to the ongoing debate over the role of moral deliberation in democratic politics. In \u003cem\u003eDeliberative Politics an all-star cast of political, legal, and moral commentators seek to criticize, extend, or provide alternatives to Gutmann and Thompson's hopeful model of democratic deliberation. The essays discuss the value and limits of moral deliberation in politics, and take up practical policy issues such as abortion, affirmative action, and health care reform. Among the impressive roster of contributors are Norman Daniels, Stanley Fish, William A. Galston, Jane Mansbridge, Cass R. Sunstein, Michael Walzer, and Iris Marion Young, and the editor of the volume, Stephen Macedo. The book concludes with a thoughtful response from Gutmann and Thompson to their esteemed critics. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis fine collection is essential reading for anyone who takes seriously the call for a more deliberative politics.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Macedo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0195131991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780195131994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/26\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.24h x 6.16w x 0.81d","brand":"Stephen Macedo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46838249357567,"sku":"9780195131994","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3a428110-6e0e-4511-9bda-10e256e061de.jpg?v=1746589255","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/deliberative-politics-stephen-macedo-9780195131994","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
