Democracy is taken to be an obvious good. It often seems like the one thing we can agree on in a political debate. After all, only dictators and fools question the value of democracy, right? And yet, the benefit of democracy has been challenged again and again throughout history. Joshua Duclos leads this program that seeks to analyze, articulate, and explore the arguments on which democracy is grounded. This lecture is offered through the Humanities to Go program of New Hampshire Humanities, and admission is free.
