Does democracy promote excellence? Searching in history,
literature, and works of political theory, the contributors
conclude that American democracy does indeed promote excellence
despite thousands of years of political theory to the contrary.
However, the promotion of such excellence requires one to think
differently about what excellence means and how best to promote it.
Religion and a strong sense of community are vital in creating this
democratic excellence and are necessary to counter conservative
critics who see little value in democratic practices. Entering the
twenty-first century, this question has become all the more
important. Democracy is a difficult and challenging form of
government that is increasingly more common than it once was. As
the United States works to promote democracy throughout the world
it is a timely matter to consider once again why democracy is a
good thing. At the same time, Romance and Riemer remind us always
to think about and ponder the ways democracy can fail us.
Contributions from distinguished scholars of political science,
history, and religion provide supporting evidence in a
multi-disciplinary approach.
