Democracy After Liberalism Pragmatism And Deliberative Politics

In this book, Talisse critically evaluates liberalism, the dominant attempt in the tradition of political philosophy to provide a philosophical foundation for democracy. Combining recent work on deliberative democracy with C.S. Peirce's pragmatism, Talisse argues that there is a need for a 'post-liberal' account of democracy. Although the resulting view is not liberal, it eschews the problems confronting communitarianism by insisting that the formative role of the state is epistemological rather than moral.Talisse, Robert B. is the author of 'Democracy After Liberalism Pragmatism And Deliberative Politics', published 2004 under ISBN 9780415950190 and ISBN 0415950198.
