This book revisits the discourse theories of Habermas and Foucault
in a Chinese context. After arguing that Habermas’s Discourse
Theory of Law and Democracy is too normative and idealistic, it
presents Foucault’s Discourse Theory of Power Relations to
illustrate the tensions between different Western discourse
theories. The book then draws on the normative concept of Confucian
Rationality from traditional Chinese cultural sources in order to
investigate how adaptable these two discourse theories are to the
Chinese society, and to balance the tension between them.
Presenting these three dimensions of discourse theory, as well as
the relations between them, it also uses empirical descriptions of
certain facts of political-legal discussion both in traditional
China and in the country’s new media age to explain, supplement
and question this theoretic framework. The book asserts that,
because of the diverse modes of thinking in specific cultures,
there might be different normative paradigms of discorse and
different political-legal discussion modes across corresponding
cultural contexts. Normative discourse theories provide guidance
for the practices of deliberative democracy and legal discussions,
which can in turn verify, supplement, improve and challenge the
normative discourse theories. In addition to demonstrating the
multiple dimensions of discourse theories, this research also
promotes an approach to the Discourse Theory of Law and Democracy
that combines elements of both Chinese and modern society.Â
