Reviews

'A stimulating collection of essays on the importance of dialogue for democratic politics, with probing examinations of the philosophical problems of democratic dialogue and practical case-studies illuminating the issues at stake. It will be of great interest to all students of democracy and democratic education, and to all those concerned with improving the quality of contemporary democracy.' John Schwarzmantel, University of Leeds, UK 'This collection of critical dialogues addresses a global problem: the future and the dilemmas of a specific form of democracy that emerged after the fall of communism. Democracy and dialogue: the theme is classical (going back to Plato) but also actual (in philosophers from Levinas to Buber to Habermas). The authors first engage their own cultures before joining together in a collective project that brings us back to the classical questions. The volume is fascinating, greater than the sum of its parts. This sort of dialogue should be continued.' Dick Howard, Stony Brook University, USA
