Recenzii

Cahn, Talisse, and Forcehimeshave put together a wide-ranging and thoughtfully crafted collection to explore the philosophical debates about democracy, from Plato's challenge to the modern conflict between self-government and political equality. Each text comes with a crisp introduction that alerts the reader to the author's central thesis. This volume will prove to be an ideal resource in every political philosophy classroom at the undergraduate and graduate level.
A valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of democracy-its nature, its value, its limitations. This volume offers a diverse and comprehensive array of sources, both classical and contemporary, that will prove helpful for students, teachers, and the public at large.
