A Theory of Deliberation as Interactive Reasoning
Authors: William Minozzi, Michael A. Neblo, & David A. Siegel
Project Description: A formal theoretical framework that models deliberation not just as talk, but as "interactive reasoning." The authors demonstrate how citizens can rationally update their beliefs through the exchange of reasons, bridging the gap between abstract democratic theory and empirical political science.
