TextPublisher: Mohr Siebeck, Description: 1 online resource (552 p.)ISBN: 9783161554070Subject(s): Philosophy | PhilosophyGenre/Form: Electronic books.Online resources: View this content on Open Research Library. Summary: The freedom potential of modern societies, above all the justification of political authority, is today linked to a democratically constituted order. What is meant by the idea of being democratic seems, however, to be anything but clear. Is it only a question of representing the people through elections, ballots, and political parties, or does it include institutional culture, the division of powers, and the legal regime within a community? A "philosophy of the republic", as developed in this volume's contributions, shows that the current "dominance of the democratic" falls short of accounting for the independent significance to the republican self-organisation of state and society.
