Demokratie zeichnet sich durch Nichtdefinitivität aus. In der politischen Realität fallen jedoch nicht selten Entscheidungen mit mindestens faktisch irreversiblen Konsequenzen. Unter Rückgriff auf die Pragmatisten Charles Sanders Peirce und John Dewey werden die demokratietheoretischen Implikationen untersucht. Insbesondere wird das Verhältnis von Rationalität, Demokratie und Reversibilität beleuchtet:
Sind Entscheidungen, deren Konsequenzen reversibel sind, rationaler und mit einem höheren Grad an demokratischer Qualität ausgestattet? Es wird abschließend der Versuch unternommen, die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse zu Grundzügen einer politischen Theorie der Reversibilität zusammenzufügen. Auch werden Betrachtungen zur Übertragung auf die politische Praxis angestellt.

Summary
An accident changed Leighton Clarke's life forever.
After waking from a coma, Leighton Clarke can’t remember anything from the past six years. She’s stunned when her doctors inform her she has amnesia, something she didn’t think occurred outside of soap operas. Anxious and disoriented, the only person who elicits any feelings is Jonathan Moran, a gorgeous chef with compassionate brown eyes . . . who also happens to be her fiancé.
Jonathan isn’t her fiancé. But when his estranged brother—her real husband-to-be—asks him to step in while he’s away in London, Jonathan doesn’t think he has a choice, especially after seeing how the previously aloof Leighton now responds to him. The more time they spend together, the more Jonathan begins to fall for his brother’s fiancé, until he’s wishing the pretense were reality.
When Leighton’s memories come flooding back, can she forgive the man she’s fallen in love with or will his lie ruin the only thing that feels true?
