Democracy and Vision: Sheldon Wolin and the Vicissitudes of the Political Paperback - 2001

by Aryeh Botwinick (Editor); William E. Connolly (Editor)


First line

To study political theory in 1960 was to participate in an enterprise widely thought to be moribund.

From the rear cover

"Each of the essays in this book is a highly original work reflecting a command of Wolin's political and social thought, while taking it as a point of departure for developing his work beyond its present level of achievement. Democracy and Vision thus records Wolin's unique contribution while charting new territory that his work's continuing influence will shape in important ways. A book indispensable for those who seek to be engaged by the leading arguments in contemporary political theory."--Morton Schoolman, State University of New York at Albany

"Democracy and Vision is valuable because it relates developments in late-modern life and politics to the 'vicissitudes' of theorizing. This is a splendid commentary on the current condition and character of political theory as an endeavor, partly by displaying and relating its many voices and tensions, and partly by showing how these voices reverberate in other fields of inquiry."--George Shulman, New York University

Description:
Princeton University Press, 2001. Paperback. Good. 6x0x9. [From the library of noted scholar William E. Connolly.] Softcover. Shelf wear. Stain to edge. Scattered underlining and markings by Connolly. <br> "William E. Connolly is Krieger-Eisenhower Professor in the political science department at Hopkins where he teaches political theory. His early book, The Terms of Political Discourse, was awarded the Benjamin Lippincott Award in 1999 as 'a work of exceptional quality that is still considered significant at least 15 years after publication.' In a poll of American political theorists published in PS in 2010, he was ranked the fourth most influential political theorist in America over the last twenty years, after Rawls, Habermas, and Foucault. His work focuses on the issues of democratic pluralism, capitalism, inequality, fascism, and bumpy intersections between capitalism and planetary amplifiers in climate change." - Johns Hopkins University
