The public space of democracies is constructed in a context that is
marked by the digital transformation of the economy and society.
This construction is carried out primarily through deliberation.
Deliberation informs and guides both individual and collective
action. To shed light on the concept of deliberation, it is
important to consider the rationality of choice; but what type of
rationality is this? References to economic reason are at once
widespread, crucial and controversial. This book therefore deals
with arguments used by individuals based on the notions of
preferential choice and rational behavior, and also criticizes
them. These arguments are examined in the context of the major
themes of public debate that help to construct the contemporary
public space: "populism", social insurance, social responsibility
and environmental issues. Economic Reason and Political Reason
underlines the importance of the pragmatist shift of the 2000s and
revisits, through the lens of this new approach, the great
utilitarian and Rawlsian normative constructs that dominated
normative political economics at the end of the 20th century.
Alternative approaches, based on the concept of deliberative
democracy, are proposed and discussed.
