Abstract
I offer a model of ‘distributed’ (or ‘delegated’) deliberation — with different agents playing different deliberative roles — as an alternative to the ‘unitary actor’ model of deliberation. It might be ‘good enough’, deliberatively, for the component deliberative virtues to be on display sequentially, over the course of this staged deliberation involving various component parts, rather than continuously and simultaneously present as they would be in the case of a unitary deliberating actor.
