Rezensionen

'This book is a must for anyone interested in new ways of thinking about democracy. The lively and engaging style of the conversations with leading theorists made the collection a compelling read from start to finish.' Paulina Tambakaki, Centre for the Study of Democracy, University of Westminster, UK

'Democratic Theorists in Conversation is a timely, kaleidoscopic set of stimulating interviews, producing fresh and surprising insights into the past, present, and possibly future practices of democracy.' Nikolas Kompridis, Professorial Fellow in Philosophy, University of Western Sydney, Australia

'The interview is an under-utilized but hugely rewarding resource in political theory. In this book the reader gets to listen-in to conversations with leading philosophers and intellectuals as they speak in their own words about the challenges and hopes of democracy today.' Simone Chambers, Professor of Political Theory, Department of Political Science, University of Toronto, Canada
