Shows how a productive dialogue between deliberative theory and deconstruction is both possible and desirableOpens a dialogue beyond the specifics of the Habermas–Derrida debateDraws critically on the insights of both deliberative theory and deconstruction to ensure they do justice to each otherOffers a dynamic understanding of constitution making and democratic legitimacyOur political climate is increasingly characterised by hostility towards constructed others. Steven Gormley answers the question: what does it mean, and how can we respond to the demand, to do justice to the other? Gormley pursues this question by developing a critical, but productive, dialogue between deliberative theory and deconstruction. Two key claims emerge from this: doing justice to the other demands that we maintain an ethos of interruption; such an ethos requires a democratic form of politics. In developing this account, Gormley places deliberative theory and deconstruction into critical conversation with one the work of Mouffe, Aristotle, Rorty, Laclau and different traditions of critical theory.
