Abstract

This chapter discusses the limitations of Habermas’ theory of communicative rationality and deliberative democracy in addressing issues of discrimination as well as addressing issues related to neoliberalism, irrational anti-intellectual mob behaviour and globalization. The focus of the discussion is on the inability of a reason-based theory as the foundation of democracy to address elements of discrimination which are not based on rational understanding.
