Who but Ralph Ketcham would have the nerve, the grit, the wit, and the range to take on a task as gargantuan as this one. --Paul A. Rahe, author of Republics Ancient and Modern: The Ancient Regime in Classical Greece To anyone interested in the intellectual history and fate of democracy, I warmly recommend this lucidly written book. --Peter S. Onuf, author of The Origins of the Federal Republic Likely to provoke considerable debate, the book demonstrates the stimulating potential of the emerging field of comparative theory/philosophy. --Fred Dallmayr, author of Achieving Our World: Toward a Global and Plural Democracy
