Chris Voparil’s Reconstructed Pragmatism provides an opportunity to reconsider existing debates from a new pragmatist vantage point, one that takes seriously Rorty’s contribution to the tradition. In this commentary, I take advantage of this vantage point to briefly reconsider debates about deliberative democracy, including pragmatist contributions to them. Typically, such debates revolve around either the ethical/political constraints or the epistemic benefits of deliberation. Yet Voparil’s redrawn pragmatist map reconfigures the relationship between the ethical/political and epistemic dimensions of communities engaged in democratic deliberation. I use the vantage point made accessible by Voparil’s map to think about how the ethical/political and epistemic are simultaneously instantiated in the creation and expansion of communities, which suggests many existing attempts to justify or explain democratic deliberation are misguided.

带着重建的实用主义地图旅行：克里斯·沃帕里尔的重建实用主义评论

克里斯·沃帕里尔重构的实用主义提供了一个从新的实用主义观点重新考虑现有辩论的机会，这个观点认真对待罗蒂对传统的贡献。在这篇评论中，我利用这一优势简要地重新考虑了关于协商民主的辩论，包括实用主义对它们的贡献。通常，此类辩论围绕伦理/政治约束或审议的认知利益展开。然而，Voparil 重新绘制的实用主义地图重新配置了参与民主协商的社区的伦理/政治和认知维度之间的关系。我使用 Voparil 的地图可以访问的有利位置来思考伦理/政治和认知如何在社区的创建和扩展中同时实例化，
