This essay contends that the gross imbalance of power in the modern
state is in need of justification and that democracy simply masks
this need with the illusion of popular sovereignty. The book points
out the emptiness of slogans like 'power to the people', as
individual votes do not affect the outcome of elections, but
concludes that democracy can contribute to civic education.
Although the argument is accessible to the general reader, it is
written within the European tradition of political philosophy, from
Plato to Rawls. The author is Regius Professor of Moral Philosophy
at the University of Aberdeen.
