%0 Journal Article %T A deliberative solution to the social choice problem %A Mladenovi£¿ Ivan %J Filozofija i Dru£¿tvo %D 2011 %I Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory, Belgrade %R 10.2298/fid1101123m %X Is there a sense in which society makes rational decision in a democratic way that is similar to individual rational decision-making? Social choice theory claims that rational social choice is not possible. Or, at least, that if possible, then the social choice must be dictatorial. I shall present a deliberative solution to the social choice problem. This solution is called deliberative, because it is based on the assumptions of deliberative democracy. %K rationality %K preferences %K normativity %K social choice %K deliberative democracy %U http://www.doiserbia.nb.rs/img/doi/0353-5738/2011/0353-57381101123M.pdf
