HUMAN RIGHTS AND DELIBERATIVE DEMOCRACY
Keywords:
democracy, deliberation, deliberative democracy, liberal democracy, human rights, Seyla BenhabibAbstract
This work reviews the relation of deliberative democracy and the human rights corpus in context of the contemporary debates about the immediate form of creation of politics and political decision making. The latest model of democracy here is reviewed as something that could potentially wear the basics of the human rights concept, whereof loudest in the defense are the so called authors - anti-foundationalists. In this text an attempt has been made to differentiate the sociological and the politological foreshortening in the perception of the deliberative engineering. In the end, an indication is provided about the weaknesses and the criticism of the compatibility of the deliberative democracy as the latest model of creation of political decisions and political decision making and the compatibility with human rights in regard to the politological and sociological views of this ratio.
