Concept of Democracy

Explore the thought-provoking insights of Herman Cappelen in his 2023 publication, Concept of Democracy, released by Oxford University Press. In this compelling hardback edition, spanning 244 pages, Cappelen presents a radical perspective on the term 'democracy', arguing that it holds no real meaning and should be discarded. He advocates for a shift towards alternative frameworks that promise to enhance our communication, cognition, and political discourse. By adopting these new approaches, we can engage in more meaningful discussions, pose better questions, and arrive at genuinely fruitful solutions. This book is essential for anyone interested in political theory and the evolution of democratic discourse.
