  Article:   RADICAL POLITICAL THEORY AND DELIBERATIVE DEMOCRACY.

  Abstract:   What makes a radical theory, radical? This article attempts to assess the possible directions of answering this question by looking into the recent debates on the nature and substance of deliberative democracy. Identified by many of its proponents, and by some of its critics, as a radical democratic theory, while dismissed as too consensual by other theorists claiming their own strand of radicalism in political theory, deliberative democracy can be assessed as radical either from a substantive perspective – the capacity of its ideas to drastically depart from current conventional views of democracy – or from a conceptual-level perspective, focused on the possible epistemic radicalism displayed by core aspects of these theories

Keywords: deliberative democracy, radical theory, epistemic radicalism
