| Sumario: | In light of the widening of contemporary struggles for recognition, within
a context of greater visibility for new actors within public spaces, we have
been able to identify the limitations of the liberal model of democracy which
emphasizes, above all, legitimacy, power and rationality. This article proposes
to take a look at the wide range of criticisms of deliberative democracy,
particularly with regard to the use of rationality as the sole form of argumentation
and action. Our critique of the use of rationality is anchored in
Young’s (1990, 1997, 2001) and Hoggett and Thompson’s (2002) discussions.
The incorporation of other forms of action and communicative patterns
represents an attempt to make deliberative processes more inclusive, so
that they may truly become sites of equality and emancipation.
Keywords: Deliberative democracy, rationality, inclusion.
