Ẹniọlá Ànúolúwapọ́ Ṣóyẹmí in her recent article Citizen Deliberation and a Communalist Ethics of Freedom with Oxford Intersections argues that deliberation is an ethical necessity for citizens to morally consider one another, revealing that our freedoms are interdependent. The piece challenges mainstream democratic theories, including contemporary deliberative democrats, by suggesting that radical differences between citizens make deliberative agreement ethically meaningful and that deliberation is not merely another democratic procedure for making policy but a necessary part of the moral interaction and consideration between citizens required in a free society. It shifts the current focus of deliberation as a procedural tool for policy to being an essential moral practice.
