    by Fred Dallmayr ...
    Narrated by Sean Runnette ...

    Unabridged

    7 hours 9 min

    Liberal democracy is the dominant political ideology in the West today. Taken at face value it suggests an equivalency between its two central components—liberalism and democracy—but as Fred Dallmayr argues here, the two operate in very different registers.

  • Democracy to Come

    Politics as Relational Praxis

    by Fred Dallmayr ...
    In this book Fred Dallmayr lays the groundwork for a new understanding of democracy. He argues that democracy is not a stable system anchored in a manifest authority (like monarchy), but is sustained by the recessed and purely potential rule of the "people". Hence, democracy has to constantly reinvent itself, resembling theologically a creatio continua. Like one of Calder's mobiles, democracy for ... Read more

  • Freedom and Solidarity

    Toward New Beginnings

    by Fred Dallmayr ...
    The prevailing Western paradigm is modernity: a model focused on individual liberty, secularism, and the scientific control of nature. This worldview emerged from the break with the medieval and classical past and advanced a philosophy in which the solitary mind opposes the rest of the world. Although there is a simple appeal in this binary structure, history has shown that it is neither socially ... Read more

    The book records the author’s personal and intellectual maturation over a period of nine decades.

Situated as a “being-in-the-world”, the author’s experiences reach from World War II via the Cold War to recent “terror wars.” Intellectually, he participated in and reacted to a number of ...
