He argues that the artful practice of persuasion ought to be viewed as a crucial part of democratic politics. Against theorists who advocate a rationalized ideal of deliberation aimed at consensus, Garsten argues that a controversial politics of partiality and passion can produce a more engaged and more deliberative kind of democratic discourse UR - https://doi.org/10.4159/9780674037519 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9780674037519 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/cover/covers/9780674037519.jpg ER -
