Democracy and the Divine

The Phenomenon of Political Romanticism

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Democracy and the Divine articulates a democracy that is based on the principle of giving oneself to another. For this project, the author highlights two traditions that rarely have been read side by side or considered seminal to the philosophical idea of democracy: nineteenth-century German romanticism and French postmodernism.
