Ferguson. New York ; Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2012. 1 online resource (xi, 208 p.) Democratic theorists frequently assume that the 'people' must have something in common, or else democracy will fail. This produces an ironically anti-democratic tendency to emphasize the passive possession of commonality. Sharing Democracy counters this tendency with a radical vision of democracy grounded instead in the active exercise of political freedom. Description based on print version record.
