In: History of political thought, Band 18, Heft 1, S. 104-124
ISSN: 0143-781X
THE ARTICLE EXPLORES THE LIBERAL CASE FOR A DELIBERATIVE CONCEPTION OF DEMOCRACY THROUGH THE EXAMINATION OF THE WRITINGS OF JOHN DEWEY. THE VIEW OF DEWEY AS A THEORIST OF PARTICIPATORY AND DELIBERATIVE DEMOCRATIC POLITICS CAPTURES HIS GENERAL VIEWS. THE "IDEAL" AND "PERSONAL" ASPECT OF DEMOCRACY RESTS UPON THE STRONGLY ETHICAL CONCEPTION OF INDIVIDUALITY. DEWEY EMPHASISES THE PUBLIC SPHERE OF FREE DEBATE IN THIS AND ALL ISSUES OF DEMOCRACY.
