I think what Young wants is a more vigorous democracy based not on supposedly impartial points of view but on dialogue.

She believes that so-called impartial points of view simply reinforce the existing interests of privileged groups and create hierarchy. The ideal of impartiality simply leads to decisions by experts, professionals, bureaucrats, and so on as opposed to real democracy. She wants us to move toward "participatory structures" involving actual people who don't have impartial views.
