In the Introduction, I stated that this is a book that should have relevance for political praxis. I now take up this challenge in this final chapter. Having presented in the earlier chapters the normative implications that I draw from empirical research on deliberation, I now hope to have a solid basis for reflections on the praxis of deliberation in the real world of politics. Claudia Landwehr notes that reflections on the praxis of deliberation need a solid philosophical and empirical basis: “As deliberative democracy becomes more influential not only in theory, but also in democratic praxis, there is an increasing expectation to justify its empirical premises, make more explicit its suggestions regarding institutionalization, and clarify its role in the democratic process.” Michael A. Neblo et al. “suggest that the deliberative approach represents opportunities for practical reform quite congruent with the aspirations of normative political theorists and average citizens alike.” There are, however, still skeptics about the practical viability of deliberative democracy. A particularly harsh critic is Richard Posner, for whom deliberative democracy is “purely aspirational and unrealistic … with ordinary people having as little interest in complex policy issues as they have aptitude for them.” This book should have demonstrated that not only politicians but also ordinary citizens are able and willing to deliberate political issues, to some extent even in crisis countries such as Colombia and Bosnia–Herzegovina. I agree with Giovan Francesco Lanzara that as human beings we have a natural cognitive aptitude for deliberation. I share his opinion that the cognitive aptitude for deliberation is much more evenly distributed than one usually assumes. Ordinary citizens have this aptitude, perhaps even more than professional politicians. Lanzara further argues that this aptitude must be constantly practiced so that it does not erode. I will show in this final chapter different ways that deliberation can be practiced throughout life.
