Title: The Work of Laughter is the Work of Philosophy: Diotima and Arendt
Respondent: Peter Harrison
Brief abstract: Political scientists have tended to dismiss the public inquiry as an ineffectual lesson-learner. However, significant issues with inquiry scholarship suggests that it is the academy rather than the state that is failing to learn. This paper responds to these issues by examining the inquiry as policy learning mechanism within the modern state.
