In this episode, VP Josh Bowman interviews professor Ryan Holston on his new book, Tradition and the Deliberative Turn: A Critique of Contemporary Democratic Theory (SUNY Press, 2023)
https://sunypress.edu/Books/T/Tradition-and-the-Deliberative-Turn
We address modern notions of democratic theory and deliberation and consider how the work of Hans Georg Gadamer might inspire a revision or even a rejection of key insights by influential democratic theorists. A return to the wisdom of tradition and notions of friendship may offer a more promising ground on which to build a non-ideological and just democracy.
