Recorded use
Wiktionary examplesThese source excerpts show how délibération appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
Dès lors, « déséconomiciser » les esprits, ce n’est plus ignorer l'économie – ce qui reviendrait à nier une partie de notre réalité –, mais proposer une nouvelle vision de l’économie, une économie non séparée de la réalité démocratique, mais régie, elle aussi, par le même mode de régulation : la délibération entre égaux.
La vie démocratique ne s'épuise pas dans le moment de la décision (où l'on compte les voix exprimées en suivant la règle de la majorité); la décision doit idéalement être précédée du moment de la délibération — à ne pas confondre avec le débat, ce simulacre de dialogue —, pendant lequel les citoyens recherchent ensemble la meilleure décision à prendre.
