In The Priority of Democracy, Jack Knight and James Johnson systematically explore the subject and make a strong case for adopting a pragmatist approach to democratic politics--and for giving priority to democracy in the process of selecting and reforming political institutions. What is the primary value of democracy? When should we make decisions democratically and when should we rely on markets? And when should we accept the decisions of unelected officials, such as judges or bureaucrats? Knight and Johnson explore how a commitment to pragmatism should affect our answers to such important questions. They conclude that democracy is a good way of determining how these kinds of decisions should be made--even if what the democratic process determines is that not all decisions should be made democratically. So, for example, the democratically elected U.S. Congress may legitimately remove monetary policy from democratic decision-making by putting it under the control of the Federal Reserve. Knight and Johnson argue that pragmatism offers an original and compelling justification of democracy in terms of the unique contributions democratic institutions can make to processes of institutional choice. This focus highlights the important role that democracy plays, not in achieving consensus or commonality, but rather in addressing conflicts. Indeed, Knight and Johnson suggest that democratic politics is perhaps best seen less as a way of reaching consensus or agreement than as a way of structuring the terms of persistent disagreement. 606 $aDemocracy$xPhilosophy 610 $aAmerican politics. 610 $aU.S. Congress. 610 $aambiguity. 610 $aanti-skepticism. 610 $aargument. 610 $abureaucracy. 610 $acollective decision making. 610 $acollective decision. 610 $acollective decisions. 610 $acollective outcomes. 610 $aconsequentialism. 610 $adecentralized markets. 610 $adecentralized mechanisms. 610 $ademocracy. 610 $ademocratic argument. 610 $ademocratic arrangements. 610 $ademocratic competition. 610 $ademocratic decision making. 610 $ademocratic institutional framework. 610 $ademocratic institutions. 610 $ademocratic politics. 610 $ademocratic process. 610 $ademocratic processes. 610 $adiversity. 610 $aeffective participation. 610 $aequal political participation. 610 $aequality. 610 $afallibilism. 610 $aformal decision making. 610 $afree-and-equal-participation. 610 $afreedom. 610 $aindividual participation. 610 $ainstability. 610 $ainstitutional arrangements. 610 $ainstitutional choice. 610 $ainstitutional performance. 610 $ajudicial decision making. 610 $aliberalism. 610 $amarkets. 610 $apolitical argument. 610 $apolitical consequences. 610 $apolitical debate. 610 $apolitical-economic institutions. 610 $apopulism. 610 $apragmatism. 610 $areflexivity. 610 $asocial choice theory. 610 $asocial choice. 610 $asocial cooperation. 610 $asocial disagreement. 610 $asocial interaction. 610 $asocial norms. 610 $avoting. 615 0$aDemocracy$xPhilosophy. 676 $a321.8 700 $aKnight$b Jack$f1952-$0621975 701 $aJohnson$b James$f1955-$0817792 712 02$aRussell Sage Foundation, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781478203321 996 $aThe priority of democracy$93838841 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02857nam 2200649 450 001 9910812732903321 005 20230331005404.0 010 $a0-19-756005-9 010 $a1-280-44962-4 010 $a9786610449620 010 $a0-19-536427-9 035 $a(CKB)1000000000405395 035 $a(EBL)431327 035 $a(OCoLC)437116000 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000303627 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12115271 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000303627 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10276302 035 $a(PQKB)11476308 035 $a(StDuBDS)EDZ0002341121 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC431327 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL431327 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11303614 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL44962 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000405395 100 $a20161129h19881988 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aMorphogenesis and evolution /$fKeith Stewart Thomson 210 1$aNew York, New York ;$aOxford, [England] :$cOxford University Press,$d1988. 210 4$dİ1988 215 $a1 online resource (163 p.) 225 1 $aOxford scholarship online 300 $aPreviously issued in print: 1988. 311 $a0-19-504912-8 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aContents; 1.

They are attempting to understand better how evolutionary trends and patterns within individuals might be limited and controlled. In this important work, the author reviews the classical literature on embryology, morphogenesis and palaeontology, and presents recent genetic and molecular studies on development. The result is a unique perspective on a set of problems of fundamental importance to developmental and evolutionary biologists. 410 0$aOxford scholarship online. 606 $aMorphogenesis 606 $aDevelopmental biology 606 $aEvolution (Biology) 615 0$aMorphogenesis. 615 0$aDevelopmental biology. 615 0$aEvolution (Biology) 676 $a574.1/7 700 $aThomson$b Keith Stewart$0531470 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812732903321 996 $aMorphogenesis and evolution$9898529 997 $aUNINA
