Talisse's work constitutes an invaluable contribution to the political philosophy of polarization.
Talisse's work constitutes an invaluable contribution to the political philosophy of polarization.
Talisse has written a high-quality work which does an excellent job integrating philosophical and empirical analysis.
Talisse's Overdoing Democracy provides a distinctive and nuanced theory... which he refers to as the 'political saturation of the social.' Politics pervades and swallows up too much of our lives. ...Talisse has written a high-quality work which does an excellent job integrating philosophical and empirical analysis. He has provided strong, novel arguments for why the politicization of the social undermines rather than supports democratic values.
As political theorists and commentators broadly puzzle over the hard times faced by democracies in the early twenty-first century, Overdoing Democracy provides an extremely important challenge to assumptions that it is more and better democracy that will ultimately allow us to overcome these problems.
Overdoing Democracy is both an argument from first principles and a timely intervention into contemporary society ... well-written, innovative and insightful.
It is a rare academic text that remains accessible to intelligent non-philosophers without sacrificing philosophical substance ... Talisse has managed to provide such a text.
Overdoing Democracy is accessible to a wide audience while still providing new academic insights.
Talisse's unassuming, jargon-free prose might lead one to view the book as intended only for a general audience. This is the book's deceptive quality, as its seemingly straightforward claim rests in several interesting and thought-provoking philosophical arguments.
Overdoing Democracy is a rich introduction to both democratic theory and political sociology....The book is sophisticated without being intimidating and current without being trendy. It should be a reference point in discussions about the scope and divisiveness of democratic politics in America for years to come.
Political saturation, polarization, radicalization ... With precision and wit, Robert Talisse shows how politics today are tearing America apart
It's always possible to have too much of a good thing
In his fascinating book, Talisse argues that the American social fabric is now being eroded by a new tendency to overdo democracy.ÂThe only solution for this problem, Talisse is right to claim, is to put democracy back in its proper place. Our tendency to politicise everything needs to be contained for democracy's sake.
Can we have too much of a good thing? In this compelling book, Robert Talisse argues we can
