  • Can Deliberation Cure Democracy? with James Fishkin | Bonus Episode

    Can Deliberation Cure Democracy? with James Fishkin | Bonus Episode
    Jun 20 2025
    In this conversation between Roger Berkowitz and James Fishkin, a Stanford University expert on deliberative polling and deliberative democracy, they discuss the effectiveness for addressing the ills of democracy. Fishkin highlights four primary problems in modern democracy: the difficulty in determining the will of the people; extreme partisan polarization; the lack of deliberative voting; and limited citizen engagement. He outlines how deliberative polls, involving informed discussions among representative samples of citizens, have been effective in fostering better public understanding and decision-making, as seen in cases like Texas' energy policy and Mongolia's constitutional amendments. The discussion also touches on the potential benefits and challenges of integrating deliberative polling with citizens' assemblies to enhance democratic involvement and decision-making. James Fishkin holds the Janet M. Peck Chair in International Communication at Stanford University where he is Professor of Communication, Professor of Political Science (by courtesy) and Director of the Deliberative Democracy Lab. He is the author of Can Deliberation Cure the Ills of Democracy? (Oxford 2025), Democracy When the People Are Thinking (Oxford 2018), When the People Speak (Oxford 2009), Deliberation Day (Yale 2004 with Bruce Ackerman) and Democracy and Deliberation (Yale 1991). Fishkin is best known for developing Deliberative Polling® – a practice of public consultation that employs random samples of the citizenry to explore how opinions would change if they were more informed. His work on deliberative democracy has stimulated more than 100 Deliberative Polls in 28 countries around the world. It has been used to help governments and policy makers make important decisions in Texas, China, Mongolia, Japan, Macau, South Korea, Bulgaria, Brazil, Uganda and other countries around the world. Watch Fishkin's talk titled Democracy When the People are Thinking from the Hannah Arendt Center's 2017 annual fall conference, Crises of Democracy: Thinking in Dark Times.

    Where Are We When We Think? Sections 20-21 | The Life of the Mind, Chapter 4
    Jun 13 2025

    In this episode, Roger Berkowitz leads a discussion on the concluding sections of the book on Thinking, part of Hannah Arendt's The Life of the Mind. Berkowitz elaborates on Arendt's insights into the nature of thinking and its relation to the real world. Berkowitz highlights Arendt's belief that thinking interrupts conventional processes and challenges us to be autonomous and independent. He emphasizes the dangers of abstract thought disconnected from reality and the value of encountering the world with a balanced, common-sense approach. Berkowitz discusses how the culmination of this section on Thinking leads into the next two parts of the book, on Willing and Judging.

  • What Makes Us Think? Sections 18-19 | The Life of the Mind, Chapter 3

    What Makes Us Think? Sections 18-19 | The Life of the Mind, Chapter 3
    Jun 6 2025

    This episode centers on Hannah Arendt's exploration of Socrates as a model for thinking, outlined in Sections 18 and 19 of Chapter 3 in The Life of the Mind. Arendt argues that Socratic thinking, characterized by the internal dialogue of the 'two in one,' is crucial for understanding human thinking. Host Roger Berkowitz contrasts this with Greek and Roman perspectives on thinking, highlighting that for Socrates, thinking itself holds intrinsic meaning and is essential for being fully alive. We discuss the moral implications of thinking, emphasizing how it can prevent evil by fostering a critical self-dialogue that embodies an existential duality. The importance of conscience in the context of thinking is also discussed, distinguishing it from mere consciousness and illustrating how it can serve as a moral guide in times of crisis.
