Political Deliberative Process and Consensus: A Review of Objections to Liberal Democracy

Journal Title: Annals of Bioethics & Clinical Applications - Year 2021, Vol 4, Issue 1

Abstract

In contemporary times, several theories have highlighted the role of democracy in resolving public controversies, especially in the face of pluralism. Based on this scenario, this article aims to resize some of the main criticisms of liberal democracy. Therefore, initially, the essay presents the striking features of the political thought of Jürgen Habermas and John Rawls for the proper understanding of this review. Then, these characteristics are confronted with objections formulated by Chantal Mouffe, who is an advocate of a concept of agonistic democracy.
