This well-reasoned and thought-provoking polemic is an attempt to detect the “tyranny of the moderns,” with the ultimate aim of recovering the role of the individual citizen as a free and equal agent of democratic society. It explores the concept of communitarianism as a form of individualism applied to the group itself, and advances the idea that the rescue of true individualism from the current ideology is a basic condition for the defense of democratic citizenship.
"This book will change how we think about individualism in democratic societies."—Linda M. G Zerilli, University of Chicago
"This is an extremely timely book that combines theoretical sophistication and historical erudition by one of the most accomplished voices in democratic theory. A powerful, passionate critique of the reigning ideology of individualism, and its pernicious depoliticizing and populist effects, in the name of an uncompromising democratic individualism that seeks to rescue active citizenship, revive the emancipatory promises of political modernity, and reclaim progressive ideas. Nadia Urbinati is redefining the project of modern democracy with a new political vision for the present that is both hopeful and realistic."--Andreas Kalyvas, The New School
