Democratic Deliberation

The most influential political philosophers today divide their work into two tasks. The first task is to present and rigorously defend morally desirable political principles, and the second is to think about how to implement them. Quite often, the first task proves to be overwhelming, and it is left to others to think about feasibility. The problem, of course, is that the political principles often prove to be useless or counterproductive in practice, which undermines the first task. One might have thought that the political principles themselves should be assessed partly by the extent to which they can be usefully implemented in practice, but philosophical purists seem to worry about the possible implication that there may not be one unique, universally applicable, and eternally valid set of political principles.
