Essential for deliberative studies The book organized by Macedo discusses a classical in deliberative studies: Amy Gutmann and Dennis Thompson's Democracy and Disagreement (1996 is the key year in this area, the same year when Public Delibration, by James Bohman, was published). What I most like in this book is how different authors examine Gutmann and Thompson's ideas regarding the promises, advances and failures in deliberative theory. You will find authors who agree and disagree with Gutmann and Thompson, and in the end a response by Gutmann and Thompson, considering each of the critiques in a heuristic process. In a word, essential.
