This collection of short essays on texts in the history of
democracy shows the diversity of ideas that contributed to the
making of our present democratic moment. The selection of texts
goes beyond the standard, Western-centric canonical history of
democracy, with its beginnings in ancient Athens and its climax in
the French and American revolutions, recovering some of the
significant body of democratic and anti-democratic thought in Latin
America, Asia, and elsewhere. It includes discussions of well-known
philosophers like Plato and Aristotle, but also of a variety of
thinkers much less well known in English as writers on democracy:
Al Farabi, Bolivar, Gandhi, Radishchev, Lenin, Sun Yat-sen, and
many others. The essays thus de-center our understanding of the
moments where the idea of democracy was articulated, rejected, and
appropriated. Spanning antiquity to the present and global in
scope, with contributions by key scholars of democracy from around
the world, Democratic Moments is the ideal text for all students
wishing to expand their understanding of the ways in which this
contested concept has been understood.
