Democracy without Shortcuts is a book written in the shadow of the work of the later Rawls while within the framework of the later Habermas to whom the book is dedicated. The ultimate contention of Cristina Lafont is that her orientation to participatory deliberative democracy is ‘without shortcuts’, while the other orientations to deliberative democracy take shortcuts. I have a suspicion that this claim is somewhat ironic, an issue that I will take up after reviewing the argument of the book.

捷径？

《没有捷径的民主》是一本书，是在后来的罗尔斯的著作的阴影下写成的，而这本书是在后来的哈贝马斯所著的框架之内。克里斯蒂娜·拉芳特（Cristina Lafont）的最终论点是，她对参与性协商民主的取向是“没有捷径”，而对协商民主的其他取向则是捷径。我怀疑这种说法有点讽刺意味，我将在审查该书的论点后再讨论这个问题。
