Description

This foundational text examines how ideology and utopianism shape contemporary democratic theory, arguing that most academic writers, politicians and journalists view democracy through distorted lenses. The book critiques formal, procedural understandings of democracy that focus narrowly on parliaments, free elections, competitive parties and pressure groups whilst ignoring the standards guiding these institutions or their actual effects. It challenges both ideological perspectives that accept democracy uncritically and utopian approaches that propose impractical ideals disconnected from realistic circumstances. Originally published in 2000 and now revived by Routledge, this work offers a rigorous philosophical framework for understanding democracy as genuine public philosophy rather than as either apologetic justification or perfectionist fantasy, making it essential reading for students of political theory, sociology and democratic governance.
