公民小组召集一小部分人就特定政策问题进行密集、有条理的对话，以便向决策者提供信息。这些举措为参与者提供了共同推理的机会，在就采取何种途径作出知情的集体判断之前，先审查政策选择的理由。虽然大多数公民小组都是在单个民族国家内进行的，但最近的实验已经扩大到应对全球政策问题。参与性方法"世界观点“提供了一个说明性的例子。科学和技术研究（STS）的奖学金表明，公共理性的位置，而不是普遍的，这表明，什么知识被认为是合法的，什么规范的承诺是相关的共享的想法深深植根于特定的国家和机构的背景。在全球审议背景下，当关于如何将知识、价值和行动联系起来的共同假设无法预先假设时，公共理性的配置是什么？本文的目的是探讨WWViews倡议中科学和公共理性的共同生产。WWViews参与式方法的设计和其中形成的公共推理形式受到当代气候治理全球化冲动的影响和制约，其中科学是一个强大的演员。虽然这种设计为全球政治共同体的形成提供了条件，但它有助于消除民族国家之间和内部的重要认识差异。另一种办法是，对公共审议采取多元化办法，使全球行为者能够在就何种形式的知识和行动是可取和允许的达成一致意见之前，先承认文化多样性。
Citizen panels convene a small segment of the population to engage in intensive, structured conversations about particular policy issues with the view to inform policy makers. These initiatives provide participants with the opportunity to reason together by examining justifications for policy choices before coming to informed collective judgements about which avenues to take. While most citizen panels take place within individual nation-states, recent experiments have been scaled up in response to global policy issues. The participatory methodology World Wide Views (WWViews) provides an illustrative example. Science and Technology Studies (STS) scholarship demonstrates that public reason is situated rather than universal, suggesting that shared ideas about what knowledge is considered legitimate and what normative commitments are relevant are deeply rooted in particular national and institutional contexts. In the context of global deliberative settings, what configurations of public reason take hold when shared assumptions about how to link knowledge, value and action cannot be assumed in advance? The aim of this article is to explore the coproduction of science and public reason in the WWViews initiative. The design of the WWViews participatory methodology and the forms of public reasoning that take shape therein are informed and conditioned by the globalising impulses of contemporary climate governance where science is a powerful actor. While this design provides the conditions for a global political community to take shape, it serves to erase important epistemic distinctions among and within nation-states. Alternatively, a pluralistic approach to public deliberation would enable global actors to acknowledge cultural diversity before coming to agreement over which forms of knowledge and action are desirable and permissible.
