This book's central claim is that although Niebuhr and Morgenthau
were critics of what they referred to as utopian thought, the core
of their criticism constituted an attack on the inability of
utopianism to produce politically stimulating and democratically
mobilizing utopias. In their minds utopianism was rhetorically
barren and imaginatively sterile as a political narrative, the
inability of which to move and dedicate its citizenry ultimately
led to conformity and homogeneity. Arguing that the same sterility
is present in current visions of democracy--traditional as well as
radical--the book seeks to render Niebuhr and Morgenthau's attempt
at re-opening the democratic imagination relevant for contemporary
purposes as well.
