Excerpt from Democracy Today and Tomorrow
My plan of lectures at the University of Chicago was, therefore, rather narrowly defined. I desired in the first place, to explain briefly the nature of the whole spiritual and political crisis of present-day Europe, as it strikes us in all the current events of internal and external life in the main European nations: I wanted to show how Europe, from the times of the American and French revo lutions, fought relentlessly for democracy, and how the whole of the nineteenth century is filled by a hard strug gle with all the political and moral problems with which democracy is today confronted. In this connection I had to undertake further to discuss that great milestone which the World War of 1914 - 18 represented for democracy and its development and growth in Europe and the world: in it culminates - in a certain sense Victoriously - the gigantic century-old struggle for European democracy.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a historical exploration of the concept of democracy from medieval times up to the present day. The author starts by exploring the feudal society of the Middle Ages and the development of absolute monarchy, before turning to the intellectual and political revolutions of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, which eventually led to the rise of modern democracy. At the heart of this book is the idea that democracy is not a static concept but one that has been constantly evolving over time. The author argues that the ideas of the French and American revolutions, which were based on the principles of liberty, equality, and fraternity, were a major turning point in the development of democracy, and that these ideas have continued to inspire democratic movements throughout the world. The author also discusses the challenges that democracy has faced in recent times, including the rise of authoritarianism and nationalism, and the increasing inequality between rich and poor. However, the author remains optimistic about the future of democracy, arguing that it is the only system of government that can truly guarantee the rights and freedoms of all citizens. This book is a timely and important contribution to our understanding of democracy and its future. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the history of democracy and its relevance to the challenges of the twenty-first century.
