The Biotechnology Debate: Democracy in the Face of Intractable Disagreement by Bernice BovenkerkEnglish | PDF | 2012 | 355 Pages | ISBN : 9400726902 | 5.3 MB
This book grounds deliberative democratic theory in a more refined understanding of deliberative practice, in particular when dealing with intractable moral disagreement regarding novel technologies. While there is an ongoing, vibrant debate about the theoretical merits of deliberative democracy on the one hand, and more recently, empirical studies of specific deliberative exercises have been carried out, these two discussions fail to speak to one another.
