Synopsis
In a series of stimulating essays, William E. Connolly explores the element of ambiguity in politics. He argues that democratic politics in a modern society requires, if it is to flourish, an appreciation of the ambiguous character of the standards and principles we cherish the most. Connolly’s work, lucidly, presented and intellectually challenging, will be of interest to students and scholars of political science, philosophy, rhetoric, and law, and to all whose interests include the connections between contemporary epistemological arguments and politics and, more broadly, between thought and language.

Review
“Connolly contends that the freedom, dissent, and variety required for a healthy democracy are continually threatened by ‘disciplinary pressures’ produced by social institutions. . . . An important contribution to an exceedingly complex issue in modern political thought.”—American Political Science Review
