The Woman Citizen s Library, Vol. 2 of 12: A Systematic Course of Reading in Preparation for the Larger Citizenship (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book by Jesse Macy, an authority on political science, is an analysis of the principles that underlie democracy, with a particular focus on its evolution in the New World. The author contends that traditional views of human nature as innately subservient are incompatible with democratic ideals, which instead emphasize individual potential. Macy draws historical parallels between the development of democracy in ancient Greece and Rome, and its later iterations in England and America. He traces the influence of Christianity on democratic thought and explores the challenges posed to democracy by superstition, force, and the rise of mass society. The author argues that democracy, as a form of government rooted in the belief in human equality, requires a citizenry educated to think for themselves and participate actively in civic life. Macy's insights into the relationship between education and democracy remain particularly relevant today, as societies grapple with the tensions between individual liberty and collective authority.
