Public Choice Vs. Deliberative Democracy by Dave McFaul Pdf
Rational Choice defines 'rationality' as a complete and transitive hierarchical ordering of preferences for individuals. Public Choice applies this economic rationality to voting and politics. But the deliberative democracy of Rawls and Habermas is not a market good. It is concerned with the debate leading up to a decision in the market or in politics, which can inspire us to redefine the common goods that shape our lives, perhaps reprioritizing our preferences. But Rawls and Habermas think there are no moral facts until constructed by their procedure of deliberation. So as an alternative, I look at the syncretic epistemology of virtue realism as a remedy for analyzing and dealing with today's culture war of misinformation.
