| Abstract: | "Participation and democratic theory"- this is very important book…a lucid, intelligent and direct challenge to the presuppositions of most American and west European sociology and political science. All social science, implicitly, in its choice of topic and its mode of treatment, bears on the kind of society that the social scientists consider possible. By accepting a caricatured ,,classical doctrine of democracy ’or otherwise ignoring the somewhat diverse reasoning of Rousseau, Mill, Marx, Cole and others, most contemporary social science simply presumes the impassivity of any form of social organization based on genuine rule by the people. Pateman attempts to resurrect the arguments of the classical theorists and to examine them in the light of empirical evidence on political socialization and workers self-management. |
