Abstract

(English) In this paper I will analyze the deliberative applications in the democratic context trough the renowned model of deliberative democracy. Debate’s impact is studied referring to opinion changing and the increase of knowledge that it usually provokes. In addition, this aspect is verified with an experiment made in an university course and focused on understanding the impact of discussion on people’s opinions. (Italiano) In questo paper analizziamo le applicazioni della deliberazione all’interno del contesto democratico attraverso il noto modello della democrazia deliberativa. L’impatto della discussione è studiato in merito al cambiamento di opinione e all’aumento della conoscenza che spesso essa genera. Tale aspetto viene anche verificato da un esperimento condotto in un corso universitario e volto proprio a comprendere l’impatto della discussione sulle opinioni delle persone.
