Description

Given the assumption that democracy is a ''good thing,'' the goal of humankind, it is easy to forget that ''rule by the people'' has been vehemently opposed by some of the most distinguished thinkers in the Western tradition. This book attempts to combat collective amnesia by systematically exploring and evaluating anti-democratic thought since the French Revolution.
