Can we have too much of a good thing? In this compelling book, Robert Talisse argues we can — that democracy can suffer when we make every issue a political issue, and every moment a political moment. An incisive and highly readable book that proposes novel solutions for the polarized times we live in.
Robert B. Talisse is W. Alton Jones Professor of Philosophy at Vanderbilt University. His central research area is democratic theory, where he pursues issues concerning legitimacy, justice, and public political argumentation.
