While much of the world now embraces the democratic idea-that the
people must rule-the philosophical case for democracy has yet to be
made convincingly. Why Democracy? not only reexamines the current
debates in normative democratic theory, but also challenges popular
conceptions that tend toward an uncritical idealization of popular
rule. It is not enough to call for more extensive public
deliberation, or for greater participation and inclusion in the
democratic process, or for a radical extension of the scope of the
process. Making the case for democracy requires examining its
imaginative and rhetorical dimensions as well. The democratic idea
of rule by the people must be understood less as a definition than
as an aspiration, a trope, and the beginning of a narrative that
includes, while extending beyond, the domain of government.
