| Description: |
Offering a critique of liberal political theories that do not satisfy the requirements for a self-reflective society, this work argues for a new theory of liberalism, claiming that the freely self-examining society it advocates provides the key to issues of political legitimacy and social justice. |
| Synopsis: |
James Fishkin offers a theory of liberal democracy based on a self-reflective society---a political culture in which citizens are able to decide their own fate through unconstrained dialogue. The practical applications of his theory---which include deliberative opinion polls that would allow ordinary citizens to explore issues directly with candidates before election, and vouchers that would allow them to organize representaton for their interests---would lead to a more participatory democracy that would in turn provide the key to issues of political legitimacy and social justice. |
