Amy Gutmann, President of the University of
Pennsylvania, Discussing and Signing Why Deliberative
Democracy and Identity in Democracy
Why Deliberative Democracy? Thursday, September 23 at 7:00
pm
Why Deliberative Democracy? contributes to our understanding
of how democratic citizens and their representatives can make justifiable
decisions for their society in the face of the fundamental disagreements
that are inevitable in diverse societies. Gutmann and her co-author
Dennis Thompson provide a balanced and fair-minded approach that will
benefit anyone intent on giving reason and reciprocity a more prominent
place in politics than power and special interests.
In Identity in Democracy Gutmann shows us that identity-group
politics is not aberrant but inescapable in democracies because identity
groups represent who people are, not only what they want--and who people
are shapes what they demand from democratic politics. Rather than trying
to abolish identity politics, Gutmann calls upon us to distinguish
between those demands of identity groups that aid and those that impede
justice.
