This compelling new book explores whether the ability of democratic
procedures to produce correct outcomes increases the legitimacy of
such political decisions. Mapping and critically engaging with the
main theories of epistemic democracy, it additionally evaluates
arguments for different democratic decision-making procedures
related to aggregative and deliberative democracy. Addressing both
positions that are too epistemic, such as Epistrocracy and
Scholocracy, as well as those that are not epistemic enough, such
as Pure Epistemic Proceduralism and Pragmatist Deliberative
Democracy, Cerovac builds an innovative structure that can be used
to bring order to numerous accounts of epistemic democracy.
Introducing an appropriate account of epistemic democracy, Cerovac
proceeds to analyse whether such epistemic value is better achieved
through aggregative or deliberative procedures. Drawing
particularly on the work of David Estlund, and including a
discussion on the implementation of the epistemic ideal to real
world politics, this is a fascinating read for all those interested
in democratic decision-making.
