Challenging the conventional belief in public deliberation as central to democracy, Scott Welsh argues that democratic politics are fundamentally undermined by the impossibility of achieving collective judgment. He posits that the ideals of deliberation do not align with the realities of democratic processes, suggesting a critical reevaluation of how democracy functions in practice. This thought-provoking work invites readers to reconsider the foundations of democratic engagement and the role of public discourse.
