The Status of Human Rights in the Theory of Deliberative Democracy of Jürgen Habermas

Summary/Abstract: The article examines an important aspect of democratic states within the framework of the theory of deliberative democracy developed by Jürgen Habermas in the 1990s: his main idea concerns the problem of how the diversity of arguments and values appearing through democratic decision and the validation of universal human rights can both be addressed at the same time. With the help of Habermas’s work on practical reason, the article shows why the liberal idea of politics based merely on universal norms cannot be accepted from the point of view of discourse theory. Finally, on the basis of Faktizität und Geltung it reconstructs how the validity of classical liberal rights can be proven with the help of the theory of deliberative democracy.
