Flemming Quote: Commonplace
“[A]n education [. . .] that was designed to support a truly direct, deliberative democracy [. . .] would be an education oriented to the ‘strong publics’ of decision-making rather than the ‘weak publics’ of opinion formation.” (205) It seems as if the education back then was to focus on creating a “strong public” in […]
