The Association for the History of Political Thought Conference
Democracy and Its Pathologies
Join us on March 1-2, 2024, for the inaugural conference of The Association for the History of Political Thought. The theme is “Democracy and its Pathologies.” Through an analysis of historical texts, papers will address questions such as: what is the best case for democracy, and what is the best case against it? Does the democratic regime have a democratic soul modeled on it? Is modern democracy different in kind than ancient democracy? Does democracy foster its own defective political forms (demagoguery, populism)?
Questions may be directed to Alexander Duff and Jeffrey Church.
