According to republican theory, we are free persons to the extent
that we are protected and secured in the same fundamental choices,
on the same public basis, as one another. But there is no public
protection or security without a coercive state. Does this mean
that any freedom we enjoy is a superficial good that presupposes a
deeper, political form of subjection? Philip Pettit addresses this
crucial question in On the People's Terms. He argues that state
coercion will not involve individual subjection or domination
insofar as we enjoy an equally shared form of control over those in
power. This claim may seem utopian but it is supported by a
realistic model of the institutions that might establish such
democratic control. Beginning with a fresh articulation of
republican ideas, Pettit develops a highly original account of the
rationale of democracy, breathing new life into democratic theory.
