Pedro T. Magalhaes shows that present-day elitist, populist and pluralist accounts of democracy owe, in diverse and often complicated ways, an intellectual debt to the interwar era, German-speaking, scholarly and political controversies on the problem(s) of modern democracy. A discussion of Weber's ambivalent diagnosis of modernity and his elitist views on democracy, as they were elaborated especially in the 1910s, sets the groundwork for the study. Against that backdrop, Schmitt's interwar political thought is interpreted as a form of neo-authoritarian populism, whereas Kelsen evinces robust, though not entirely unproblematic, pluralist consequences. In the conclusion, the author draws on Claude Lefort's concept of indeterminacy to sketch a potentially more fruitful way than can be gleaned from the interwar German discussions of conceiving the nexus between the elitist, populist and pluralist faces of modern democracy. The Legitimacy of Modern Democracy will be of interest to political theorists, political philosophers, intellectual historians, theoretically oriented political scientists, and legal scholars working in the subfields of constitutional law and legal theory"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Weber, Max, $d 1864-1920 $x Political and social views. 600 10 $a Schmitt, Carl, $d 1888-1985 $x Political and social views. 600 10 $a Kelsen, Hans, $d 1881-1973 $x Political and social views. 600 17 $a Kelsen, Hans, $d 1881-1973 $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00015699 600 17 $a Schmitt, Carl, $d 1888-1985 $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00001803 600 17 $a Weber, Max, $d 1864-1920 $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00034097 650 0 $a Democracy. 650 7 $a Democracy $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00890077 650 7 $a Political and social views $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01353986 776 08 $i Online version: $a Magalhaes, Pedro T., $t The legitimacy of modern democracy $b 1. $d New York : Routledge, 2020. $z 9781315157566 $w (DLC) 2020036997 830 0 $a Routledge innovations in political theory. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019015645.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EB8A0D4E9F4211EBBB7E29A634ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
