It is, above all, what we have learnt of the psychical processes of association which makes us believe in democracy. Democracy is the fullest possible acceptance of the single life. Thus democracy, although often considered a centrifugal tendency, is rather a centripetal force. It is the finding of the one will to which the will of every single man and woman must contribute. Democracy is an infinitely including spirit.
Democracy is really neither extending nor including merely, but creating wholes.
This is the primitive urge of all life. This is the true nature of man. Democracy must find a form of government that is suited to the nature of man and which will express that nature in its manifold relations. Or rather democracy is the self-creating process of life appearing as the true nature of man, and through the activity of man projecting itself into the visible world in fitting form so that its essential oneness will declare itself. Democracy then is not an end, we must be weaving all the time the web of democracy.
