Sheldon S. Wolin Quotes

Democracy Is About The Conditions That Make It Possible For Ordinary People To Better Their Lives By Becoming Political Beings And By Making Power Responsive To Their Hopes And Needs. What Is At Stake In Democratic Politics Is Whether Ordinary Men And Women Can Recognize That Their Concerns Are Best Protected And Cultivated Under A Regime Whose Actions Are Governed By Principles Of Commonality, Equality, And Fairness, A Regime In Which Taking Part In Politics Becomes A Way Of Staking Out And Sharing In A Common Life And Its Forms Of Self-fulfillment. Democracy Is Not About Bowling Together But About Managing Together Those Powers That Immediately And Significantly Affect The Lives And Circumstances Of Others And One's Self.
