Harrison provides a clear justification of democracy, informed by facts and detailed knowledge of the work of theorists such as Plato, Aristotle, Locke, Mill and Marx amongst others. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

The second part of the book is a theoretical discussion of the "foundations" of democracy. Concepts such as knowledge, autonomy and equality are discussed in view of democratic theory. I don't think this presentation was particularly insightful. There's a peculiar lack of references to other works in political philosophy. The author decided to have a go at the subject on his own. That is admirable, but his treatment of equality, for example, will seem outright naive for anyone who has read John Rawls. The first half of this book serves as a good introduction to the history of democratic thought, but it doesn't go any further than that.
