Truth and Democracy (Democracy, Citizenship, and Constitutionalism)
"A welcome contribution to the ongoing debates in political theory regarding the troubled relationship of truth and politics. The contributors toTruth and Democracyare theorists who have serious and deep concerns with the subject and are struggling mightily with the paradoxes and conundrums they are presented with."—Thomas L. Dumm, Amherst College"Truth and Democracyexplores an important set of questions: Can truth be set aside or rejected in politics? If truth is to be considered, in what way should it matter and what significance would this have for democracy? The book contains strong work by a number of prominent scholars, and the alternation between extended reflection and critical reflection makes for a stimulating dynamic of engagement."—Keith J. Bybee, Syracuse University
