About the Book

Few terms elicit such strong and varied feelings and yet have so little clarity as 'democracy.' Leaders of large states use 'democracy' to designate their nations' public character even as critics and rivals use the term to validate their own political perspectives. In Envisioning Democracy, the editors and contributors address the following questions: what does democracy mean today? What could it mean tomorrow? And what is the dynamic of democracy in an increasingly interdependent world? Envisioning Democracy explores these questions amid the dynamic of democracy as a political phenomenon interacting with forms of economic, ethical, ethnic, and intellectual life. The book draws on the thought of Sheldon S. Wolin (1922-2015), one of the most influential American theorists of the last fifty years. Here, scholars consider the historical conditions, theoretical elements, and practical impediments to democracy, using Wolin's insights as touchstones in thinking through the possibilities and obstacles facing democracy now and in the future.

Review :
"Sheldon Wolin was one of the most original and important political theorists of the last 70 years and Envisioning Democracy is a fitting tribute to his great contribution. The four sections of the volume explicate and engage critically with Wolin's work on the history of political theory, memory and myth, education, and its continuing relevance today. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and present of political theory." --James Tully, Professor Emeritus of Political Science and Law, University of Victoria "This volume comes at a moment when renewed democratic energies are being coupled with strife and division. With sound scholarship and well-argued contributions, Envisioning Democracy situates Sheldon Wolin in his context for those who may not know much about him or his relationship to 1960s Berkeley. It offers a thoughtful history of democracy as both a concept and a politics." --Lisa Disch, Professor of Political Science, University of Michigan
