Description

Explore a deep analysis of political thought with Democratic Theory as Public Philosophy: The Alternative to Ideology and Utopia. Originally published in 2000, this Routledge Revival text examines the current state of democratic discourse. The author argues that modern views of democracy are often clouded by two distinct biases: ideological and utopian. Ideological biases occur when democracy is viewed solely through formal procedures like parliaments, free elections, and competitive parties, without considering the actual standards or effects these processes produce. On the other hand, utopian approaches reject empirical reality in favor of normative theories that offer impractical and perfect ideals rather than realistic norms. This book provides a necessary critique for those studying how political science, journalism, and politics interact with democratic theory. It is an essential resource for students and professionals in the social sciences looking to understand the gap between procedural democracy and meaningful public philosophy.
