John Stuart Mill and Epistemic Democracy explores the epistemic, or
cognitive, character of democratic institutional practices and the
protection of basic liberties in Mill's political thought. Mapping
Mill's theory of representative democracy and critically engaging
Mill's more controversial issues, Ivan Cerovac identifies the
epistemic criteria within these proposals and uses them as a basis
for unifying Mill's political thought. The book addresses the
epistemic role of wide democratic participation on the one hand and
institutional mechanisms used to filter the public will-such as
political representation, plural voting proposals, partisanship,
division of epistemic and political labor-on the other, and it
analyzes how Mill tries to resolve the conflict between political
and epistemic values. Characterizing Mill as both a political
instrumentalist and an epistemic democrat, Cerovac sets Mill's
theory in a broader explanatory framework and compares it with
contemporary accounts of epistemic justification. Emphasizing
Mill's normative considerations regarding franchise and the
exercise of political power over others, this book discusses how to
implement the epistemic ideal in real-world politics. It will be a
fascinating read for anyone interested in democratic
decision-making.
