Alfred Moore

Opis

This book re-imagines expert authority for an age of critical citizens, and shows how expertise can contribute in a deliberative system.

Recenzje

'In this illuminating book, Alfred Moore argues persuasively that democracy requires not only active participation, but also reflective judgments about expert authority by those who choose not to participate. Critical Elitism offers a nuanced and important contribution to the study of expertise and democracy.' Mark B. Brown, California State University, Sacramento
