Overdoing Democracy: Robert B. Talisse with Oliver Burkeman

March 5, 2020 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Overdoing Democracy
Philosopher Robert B. Talisse in conversation with Oliver Burkeman on what’s wrong with democracy and how to save it.

About this Event

The fate of democracy is increasingly in doubt, in America and around the world. But what if the greatest danger for democratic societies comes from within? In his insightful new book, philosopher Robert B. Talisse reports that he has seen the enemy and it is us: we are overdoing democracy, making every issue a political issue and every human engagement a political interaction. If we hope to save democracy, Talisse argues, we need to put politics in its place. Please join us for this essential discussion as Talisse is joined by The Guardian columnist Oliver Burkeman.
