OverviewThis book provides a comprehensive theory of self-government, legitimating democracy and concretely conceiving how political institutions should be organised. Carefully and clearly evaluating the fundamental options of normative political theory, political philosopher Richard Dien Winfield shows how political self-determination has an exclusive validity independent of any assumptions, enabling democracy to be successfully defended against postmodernists and anti-modern fundamentalists.
