Abstract

Deliberative theories of Democracy have moved away from the radical criticism of liberal democracy and their procedures to the feasibility of deliberation in the liberal institutions. However, deliberative theory keeps finding opposition between some authors for several reasons, being one of the most conspicuous the so called Public Ignorance Objection. This objection affirms that public is ignorant of political matters and that is why is unable to satisfy the requisites for actual deliberation. That renders political mass deliberation undesirable, if not impossible.
