Why democracy? Most often this question is met with an appeal to
some decidedly moral value, such as equality, liberty, dignity or
even peace. But in contemporary democratic societies, there is deep
disagreement and conflict about the precise nature and relative
worth of these values. And when democracy votes, some of those who
lose will see the prevailing outcome as not merely disappointing,
but morally intolerable. How should citizens react when confronted
with a democratic result that they regard as intolerable? Should
they revolt, or instead pursue democratic means of social change?
In this book, Robert Talisse argues that each of us has reasons to
uphold democracy - even when it makes serious moral errors - and
that these reasons are rooted in our most fundamental epistemic
commitments. His original and compelling study will be of interest
to a wide range of readers in political philosophy and political
theory.
