A state-of-the-art meditation on relations, theoretical and
practical, among a familiar triad of themes: comunitarianism,
liberalism, and democracy.
--"American Political Science Review"
A collection of distinguished contributors, from a wide range of
disciplines, examine the implications of the resurgence of interest
in community. The chapters in Democratic Community consider the
fundamental issues that divide liberals and communitarians, as well
as the structure of communities, the roles of freedom and
democratic institutions in sustaining one another, the place of a
democratic civil society in a democratic polity, and the
contributions of feminist thinking.
This thirty-fifth volume in the American Society of Political
and Legal Philosophy series is devoted, as is each volume in the
series, to a single topic-- in this case, the implications for
human nature and democratic theory of the resurgence of interest in
community. Democratic Community deals not only with fundamental
issues that divide liberals and communitarians, but is also
concerned with the structure of communities, the roles of freedom
and democratic institutions in sustaining one another, the place of
a democratic civil society in a democratic polity, and the
contributions of feminist thinking to the great debate. The
collection of distinguished contributors, from a wide range of
disciplines, includes: Richard J. Arneson (University of
California, San Diego), Jean Baechler (University of Paris,
Sorbonne), Christopher J. Berry (University of Glasgow), Robert A.
Dahl (Yale University), Martin P. Golding (Duke University), Carol
C. Gould (Stevens Institute of Technology), Amy Gutmann (Princeton
University), Jane Mansbridge (Northwestern University), Kenneth
Minogue (London School of Economics), Robert C. Post (University of
California, Berkeley), David A. J. Richards (New York University),
Gerald N. Rosenberg (University of Chicago), Bruce K. Rutherford
(Yale University), Alan Ryan (Princeton University), and Carmen
Sirianni (Brandeis University).
