Or, alternatively, should democracy be clearly delimited to maintain other important ends? In this major new study, succinct in its analysis but far-ranging in its scope, David Held examines changing responses to these questions from classical Athens to modern times. The context, nature and limits of each major development in democratic theory are explored. Among the-thinkers discussed are Plato, Aristotle, Hobbes, Locke, Wollstonecraft, Rousseau, Mill and Marx, as well as twentieth-century analysts of democracy including Weber, Dahl, Hayek and Macpherson. David Held concludes the book with an argument that seeks to move contemporary discussion beyond the seemingly endless juxtaposition of one classical position with another. He defends a conception of democracy that departs decisively from both the liberal and Marxist traditions. . (Verlagstext) / INHALT (Auszug) : .
