| Beschreibung: | What are the consequences of lies for democracy? Contrary to a widespread assumption, they often do not lead to a loss of trust in politicians and a crisis of politics, because trust in politics is not primarily directed toward truthfulness. Systematic lying in politics does not necessarily threaten democracy as such, but it threatens specifically deliberative democracy and its procedures of rational opinion- and will-forming. The article starts from the thesis that it is not a general loss of trust but the one-sided concentration of political trust solely in the abilities of individual politicians or in scientific or technical expertise that endangers deliberative democracy. In answer to the question “Who owes whom trust in what in a democracy?” a distinction is made between moral trust and functional reliance, the significance of moral trust for collective action in democracy is explained, and three variants of trust that endanger deliberative democracy are outlined: autocratic, scientistic, and technocratic variants. | |||||||
