Delighted to pass along the announcement of the publication of Telos 209 (Winter 2024): Democracy Today? which is now available for purchase in our store. Individual subscriptions to Telos are also available in both print and online formats.
This from the Press Release:
In our previous issue, we focused on Carl Schmitt’s analysis of the crisis of liberal democracy in the Weimar Republic. As a follow-up, our current issue discusses the prospects for democracy today. Whether or not we consider the recent tumult within liberal democracies as a symptom of their instability or an indication of their vigor, it has become clear that history is not a one-way street in the direction of more and more democracy worldwide. With the United States retreating from the business of building democracies and with authoritarian governments trying to offer an alternative, it is worthwhile to consider the limitations of democracy in terms of both its current as well as long-term weaknesses and its degrees of suitability for different political situations. Stemming from a Telos-Paul Piccone Institute conference in March 2024, the essays in our new issue offer a range of perspectives and prognoses on the state of democracy today.
