Judgment and Disagreement --Notes --IndexIn a well-reasoned and thought-provoking polemic, respected political theorist Nadia Urbinati explores a profound shift in the ideology of individualism, from the ethical nineteenth-century standard, in which each person cooperates with others as equals for the betterment of their lives and the community, to the contemporary "I don't give a damn" maxim. Identifying this "tyranny of the moderns" as the most radical risk that modern democracy currently faces, the author examines the critical necessity of reestablishing the role of the individual citizen as a free and equal agent of democratic society.IndividualismPolitical aspectsDemocracyIndividualismPolitical aspects.Democracy.323/.04201POL007000POL035000PHI019000bisacshUrbinati Nadia1955-140621Thom Martin1553823MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910788047303321The tyranny of the moderns3814651UNINA
