Deliberation, Dismissal, and Democracy
Files
Description
Deliberation, Dismissal, and Democracy examines the common instinct to ""dismiss"" claims that make us uncomfortable, rather than engaging in a deliberation of their merits. Focusing on dismissal as a primarily social, rather than legal, phenomenon, David Schraub identifies the problems that stem from the tendency to dismiss and proposes ways we can confront the hard thoughts that must be properly considered in a healthy democracy.
