Description

This collection features 20 of the author's essays on American democracy. In these pieces, he argues for participatory democracy without dependence on abstract metaphysical foundations, and he stresses the relationship among democracy and civil society, civic education, and culture. It is divided into four sections: "American Theory: Democracy, Liberalism, and Rights"; "American Practice: Leadership, Citizenship, and Censorship"; "Education for Democracy: Civic Education, Service, and Citizenship"; and "Democracy and Technology: Endless Frontier or End of Democracy?".
