The advance and development of Chinese democracy is a great theory matter and a great practice matter. Today's China characteristic deliberative politics obtains quiet great progress, facing a series of problems and conflict. Deliberative tradition in Chinese politics life only is apprehended historical and national background of democracy construction, which don't adapted present-day democracy need. In new modernistic condition, Habermas'deliberative politics certainly enter into our view.China characteristic deliberative politics'construction and development can't just depend on us politics resource and theory resource. In the age of communication making for globalization, politics communication internally includes politics theory's communication. China democracy construction only entirely possesses west useful politics fruits, summarizing west politics theory's gain and loss, which has more choice space in practice and search out to construct our democracy's future road when meeting politics conflict and problem. As important part of west politics philosophy, Habermas'deliberative politics certainly is becoming important part summarized and occupied. Democracy's innovation is a precondition of politics practice and politics reform, which base on Chinese true issue and advance pertinence issues. Persisting in Marxist basic principles and positions and opening out fruitful dialogue with west, boosts and forms China characteristic deliberative politics'theory in deed.Introduction: One of special circumstances to Chinese democracy construction is newly growing up for west politics philosophy including deliberative politics. Deliberative politics emphasizes that the public deliberation is a politics form about liberal and equal citizens endow legislation and decision-making validity through dialog zing and discussing and scanning lots of theories. In numerous deliberative politics theories, Habermas'deliberative politics has its feature, which exists persistent clue that attends the relation of politics theory and politics practice.Chapter 1: Communication action theory is the core and foundation of Habermas'whole theoretic mansion. No other than profoundly understanding communication action's reasoning logic, Habermas'deliberative politics is grasped at deep arrangement. Communication action theory animadverts consciousness philosophy, denies capital sense and capital human, rebuilds rational basement. The intersubjectivity is the key to understand communication action. Habermas forms history evolution that its core is communication through rebuilding history materialism. Habermas'communication action theory's gains and loss directly lead original creation and localization of his deliberative politics. Only communication is based on communication practice, Habermas' communication action theory is exceeded. Deliberative politics don't leave deliberative ethnics. Habermas'deliberative ethnics include two basic principles. Habermas thinks deliberation is possible and necessary through reasoning. The basement of Habermas'deliberative ethnics is moral universalism. Politics and ethic banding together again embodies west politics philosophy's turning and regress to tradition politics. In fact, that morality is politics'basement is suspectable. In the opinion of Marxist communication practice, morality and politics are economy. Researching methodological theory can ultimately understand deliberative politics. The methodology of Habermas'deliberative politics is based on thinking model of communication action theory. Habermas attains the change of philosophy stand. Actually Habermas'methodology is far from understanding and analyzing politics'ultimate method, which is class analytical method and material dialectics.Chapter 2: Deliberative politics exists in politics public field. Habermas protest procedure criterion democracy mode, considering deliberative principle is common basement of moral principle and democracy principle. Democracy principle and law criterion are commensal, which is systemization of deliberative principle. Procedure lawmaking process is deliberative procedure systemization, which is lead by moral principle. The deliberative democracy procedure is a fairly democracy lawmaking procedure. In Habermas'eyes, deliberative politics is validity and ruled and morality at least. Habermas'deliberative politic bases on new understanding of reason. In practice, reason is not prior and abstract, even more common reason nonentity. That is new point of view from communication angle bounding reason. Reason does not just exist between subjects. In politics essence, if politics overpasses moral, deliberative politics is unstable or new word hegemony when politics is put on moral and ethic.Chapter 3: Habermas'deliberative politics directly point to realism to discuss criterion and law, necessarily come down to justice issue. Habermas'deliberative politics is embodiment of his learning interesting, is logical development of his theory. Habermas considers, justice is not firstly politics concept, but is extensive world communication concept and society validity concept. Being a justice rule, it is not right and equality actually and affirmation of nation and government, but is self-identity and consensus'degree of society. The present age validity crisis of afternoon capitalism is society self-identity crisis in matter. All injustices'roots consist in instrument sense imitating justice, bringing on dissimilation of communication action field. Settling justice issue justice must be established extensive communication among subjects to discuss deliberative politics'rationalization.Chapter 4: Deliberative politics is useful to Chinese democracy's choice. Philosophy background of times take place profound change, the innovation of Marxist philosophy offers stable base to the innovation of deliberative politics'theory and practice. In the view of new modernity, people's fundamental interest in socialism primary phase existing multi-interests and conflicts is identical, which is actual base of China characteristic deliberative politics. Deliberative politics hold deliberation from politics means to system arrange, hold deliberative subjects from elites to citizens, impel contemporary democracy from paying attention to hobby assembling to hobby forming which is new style democracy modality of more essential democracy. Deliberative democracy shows essence request of socialism democracy. We should actively search for efficient realization form for constructing harmonious politics of socialism.In conclusion, the construction and innovation of Chinese democracy is in search of resource from our nation culture and politics reality. It is a start of our thought that is valuable thinking of harmony and symbiosis in tradition culture and deliberative theory and practice of China politics tens of years, paying attention to our especial times and society realism that new globalization times brings up unique philosophy and practice condition of China deliberative politics, too. Habermas'deliberative politics is logical development of west democracy and result of theory and practice globalization times. It agrees with future way of Chinese democracy and becomes available wealth of constructing China characteristic deliberative politics, being precious wealth especially surveyed of constructing China politics philosophy.
