This book discusses whether democracy and republicanism are
identical, complementary, or contradicting ideas. The rediscovery
of classic republicanism a few decades ago made it clear how
profoundly modern notions of democracy had been shaped by the
republican tradition. But defining these two concepts remains
difficult, and the views diverge widely. The overarching aim of
this book is to discuss the extent to which democracy and
republicanism are identical, complementary or mutually
contradicting ideals / ideas. Pursuing this open approach to the
subject means calling into question a widely used formula according
to which modern democracy is composed of liberal principles such as
individualism, the rule of law and human rights, on the one hand,
and of republican principles such as focusing on the common good
and popular sovereignty, on the other. This book will appeal to
students, researches, and scholars of political science interested
in a better understanding of political theory and political
history.
