I bought it because of the subtitle “Pragmatism and Deliberation” The author Misak re-evaluates classical pragmatism and examines deliberation democracy on that basis
- On the other hand, it is different from “neo-pragmatism” centered on Richard Rorty.
- Rorty discards the concept of “truth” and aims for “uncoerced consensus” within the community.
- Misak maintains “truth” to base “research” on parse
- How to hold the concept of truth in the field of ethics and politics is discussed in this book.
