Goals of this Wiki
This wiki is designed to be the base for a coherent set of theories for understanding and developing deliberative Democracy practices. It will be home for different aspects of deliberative society, ranging from epistemology, individual psychology, education, learning, individual growth, and to the understanding of groups dynamics, sociology, deliberation, decision making, Government, Peace-War and international relationships.
It will be based on scientific research, evidential exprience, epistemology and some original hypothesis.
What is Deliberation?
Deliberation is a process of making collective decisions, based on diverse corroborated knowledge, devising diverse options, and selecting the best solutions by thoughtfully weighing the values of the implication of each option, by the people for the good of the people according to the morals of the common good.
Why Using Deliberation?
The last several decades have seen growing agreement among political theorists and empirical political scientists that the legitimacy of a democracy depends in part on the quality of deliberation that informs citizens and their representatives[1]. By improving deliberation process we improve democracy, and let more players participate in an efficient and more representing political decision making.
Deliberation is a method of thinking on problems together, and finding solutions that will be optimal for the participants in the process. Deliberation is a very old practice, used by groups of governing bodies, to settle contradicting needs and desires, and to achieve a peaceful way to advance together.
A Little Bit More About Deliberation
Humans tend to join into coalitions, and coordinate among themselves. Every gathering of people, is also a gathering of different wishes and needs, and some time these needs and wishes are in contradiction to one another. There are many ways to overcome these contradictions. wise leadership, is a leadership that knows how to bring all these wills into coordinate operation. But as the group grows, and the surroundings become more demanding, the coordination of the group become more and more difficult. Through history, many methods were developed, to drive group. Some times the main power that held groups together, was share power of the leadership, some times it was a shared narratives or ethos. But as democracy grow, the need for less power and more legitimate solutions was felt. In this area of time, when the internet ripe apart "narratives" and people are creating large groups, without the elites presiding over the adhesion making process, a true and effective for gathering the contradicting wills to a cooperative movement which will enable nations and states, find solutions that will benefits the multitude. Deliberation is one of these methods, based on mutual understanding and decision making, through discussions with multitude of participants.
