Group Identity in Public Deliberation

I argue that different argumentative practices require participants to categorize themselves in modes. Accordingly, distinguish four types of argumentation: rational argumentation, intergroup intragroup and, finally, personal argumentation. An inescapable implication my approach deliberation is presupposes the self-categorization same ingroup. Deliberation does not require, however, group antecede process, and a distinctive feature successful public its capacity produce social identification with deliberative group. Thus, identity negotiation an important part processes.
