| Abstract | The concept of democracy means that those governed--the demos--have a say in government. However, different conceptions of democracy have left many groups and individuals out. In this Very Short Introduction, Naomi Zack provides a descriptive philosophical distinction between conceptions, considering different instances of democracy and uses of the concept, and discussing normative ideals of democracy that claim to express what it really is. Zack explores existing forms of democratic government and considers traditional and alternative historical approaches to democracy, while analyzing ideas about democracy from leading social and political thinkers, from Plato to Rawls--back cover. |
