Democracy and its Critics (Routledge Revivals): Anglo-American Democratic Thought in the Nineteenth CenturyRoutledge, 2013 M12 19 - 240 páginas Originally published in 1989, a guide for students coming for the first time to the study of democracy, who often find it difficult to trace the developement of the idea and to place it in historical context. In this accesible and informative text, Jon Roper introduces the reader to arguments for and against criticisms of the concept of democracy. He does so through examination of the statements and writings of major nineteenth-century politicians and philosophers, in the United States and the United Kingdom. |
