Więcej o książce

The book presents a critical examination of the belief in human perfectibility as a cornerstone of democratic theory. Patrick Deneen explores how proponents of democracy often advocate for transforming human nature to align self-interest with the ideals of selflessness. This transformative impulse is frequently expressed in religious terms, highlighting a paradox where calls for political redemption coexist with a critique of traditional religious faith. Deneen's analysis challenges the assumptions underlying democratic ideals and their implications for human nature.
