William E. Connolly's political theory forms a distinct and
influential contribution to contemporary debates about the nature
and prospects of democratic life in the twenty-first century. His
original conceptualisations of pluralism, naturalism, the politics
of the body, religion, secularism and his daring incorporation of
contemporary neurobiology into political theory and analysis, have
opened new paths for intellectual enquiry. Connolly has brought an
American tradition of pragmatist political thinking into fruitful
conversation with the best of contemporary continental European
philosophy and given to both a new energy and focus. In this edited
collection, a distinguished panel of political theorists from both
Europe and the US provide a critical and nuanced assessment of his
contribution to the discipline, especially in the field of
democratic theory. They identify the sources of Connolly's work,
its connections to other ways of thinking about the political and
they evaluate his continuing contribution to our understanding of
the problems and promises of the present and to our appreciation of
what it might mean to fulfil the promise of the democratic way of
life. The final chapter provides space for Connolly himself to
reflect on his interlocutors and further develop his conception of
a 'world of becoming' considering the links between political
theory and the science of complexity while focusing on the
immediate challenges facing both American and world politics.
Democracy and Pluralism provides a critical introduction to the
work of William E. Connolly and to contemporary debates in
political theory encompassing topics such as radical democracy, the
body, religion, time and contingency.
