Description
Simone Chambers explores the concept of reasonable democracy through the work of Jürgen Habermas, arguing that discourse and deliberation are essential to liberal democracies.
In this book, Chambers defends modern universalist ethics and communicative rationality, highlighting the importance of conversations in resolving disputes and strengthening shared understandings. She examines a culture of dialogue as a positive force in Quebec's conversation about language rights.
