A chorus of "realists" today suggests that deliberative models of liberal democracy are irrelevant forms of idealized "applied ethics" distant from the dynamics of real politics. I argue that a deliberative model of democracy can accommodate the core of political realism---power struggles---by rethinking the place of time in politics. The heavy reliance of Jurgen Habermas, the exemplary deliberative democrat, upon a model of historical progress as a learning process leads to his neglect of the centrality of power struggles as a normatively justifiable form of political activity. I argue that such political activity not only can be animated by norms of practical reason, but that such norms must be exercised in political activity if they are not to be forgotten. Reinterpreting the political implications of Habermas's social theory, I suggest that when economic and administrative organizations supplant political activity, the people may forget civic norms critical for self-government that they once knew.

520 $a A chorus of "realists" today suggests that deliberative models of liberal democracy are irrelevant forms of idealized "applied ethics" distant from the dynamics of real politics. I argue that a deliberative model of democracy can accommodate the core of political realism---power struggles---by rethinking the place of time in politics. The heavy reliance of Jurgen Habermas, the exemplary deliberative democrat, upon a model of historical progress as a learning process leads to his neglect of the centrality of power struggles as a normatively justifiable form of political activity. I argue that such political activity not only can be animated by norms of practical reason, but that such norms must be exercised in political activity if they are not to be forgotten. Reinterpreting the political implications of Habermas's social theory, I suggest that when economic and administrative organizations supplant political activity, the people may forget civic norms critical for self-government that they once knew.
520 $a I build my own idea of a "deliberative realist" politics on the backs of Max Weber and Hannah Arendt's complementary realist models of political action as just this sort of exercise. Both models are oriented by a solicitude for the preservation of extant norms regulating political struggle, evincing an appreciation of real power as actualizing a concrete sort of freedom. Modern social institutions abiding by their own functional logics can undermine freedoms that require actualization by power animated by public norms. But political struggles can preserve the public norms that legitimate power. In turn, completing a sort of circular dynamic, the concrete freedoms actualized in power is itself a precondition for continued norm-guided political struggle.
520 $a Deliberative realism interprets political time dualistically. According to a progressive interpretation, the present is an instrumental means in the aspirational pursuit of achieving ideals in the future. In contrast, according to a preservationist interpretation, the present is the culmination and end of the past: power actualizes concrete freedom and struggles preserve public norms. Both political power and political struggles are interpreted through the same dualistic lens. Power is an end itself as the real culmination of the past---concretely actualizing its promise of freedom. Power is also the instrumental means to push forward the freedom-embodying constitutional project. Likewise, political struggles over public norms are an instrumental precondition for the acquisition and exercise of legitimate political power. On the other hand, struggles also insulate civic norms from depoliticization---the disconnect between political activity and norms of practical reason at the hands of the anti-political imperatives of market society and bureaucratization. The concrete freedoms actualized by power, in turn, are a precondition for norm-preserving struggle.
520 $a Political judgment forges a connection between the struggles among particularistic political actors exercising tangible political power and the two universalizing norms of practical reason: equal protection of individual liberties in the rule of law and democratic self-determination of the sovereign people. Balancing the progressive project with realist preservation and actualization depends upon the judgment of both political actors and the sovereign people. Political judgment forms the core of representation ---the legally regulated election of politicians on the basis of the interim judgments of the people's ongoing rational deliberation---and of checks and balances, the opposition between the stabilizing rule of law and charismatic public action, which is likewise adjudicated by the people.
