John Rawls on Deliberative Democracy - Dictionary of Arguments
Gaus I 146 Deliberative democray/Rawls/Dryzek: Some deliberative liberals are not especially democratic. Notably, Rawls in the end wants to entrust deliberation to experts in public reason such as Supreme Court justices, who only need to deliberate in the personal as opposed to the interactive sense of the word (see Goodin, 2000(1), for an explicit defence of personal as opposed to interactive deliberation). This is justified because Rawls believes public reason is unitary, accessible in the same terms by any reflective individual, and thus best accessible by the most qualified individual(s). >Deliberative Democray/Dryzek, >Democracy/Social Choice Theory. 1.
