Maley critically examines how Weber's realist 'model' of democracy defines and constrains the possibilities for democratic agency in modern liberal-democracies. Maley also looks at how ideas of historical time and memory are constructed in his writings on religion, bureaucracy, and the social sciences. Democracy and the Political in Max Weber's Thought is both an accessible introduction to Weber's political thought and a spirited defense of its continued relevance to debates on democracy."--Pub. desc. "Max Weber is best known as one of the founders of modern sociology and the author of the Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, but he also made important contributions to modern political and democratic theory. In Democracy and the Political in Max Weber's Thought, Terry Maley explores, through a detailed analysis of Weber's writings, the intersection of recent work on Weber and on democratic theory, bridging the gap between these two rapidly expanding areas of scholarship.

"There is no political term today that has a greater cachet and so little clarity than democracy. Leaders of large states use it to designate their nations’ public character, while it is also used by critics of leaders calling themselves “democratic” to spearhead their calls for political reforms. In Envisioning Democracy, Terry Maley and John R. Wallach address the following key questions: What does democracy mean today? What could it mean tomorrow? What is the dynamic of democracy, especially in an increasingly interdependent world of growing inequality, that can be captured by authoritarian populist leaders? Envisioning Democracy explores these questions amid the dynamic of democracy as a political phenomenon interacting with forms of economic, ethical, and intellectual life. The book draws on the thought of one of America’s greatest writers on democracy in the last fifty years, Sheldon S. Wolin (1922-2015). In this collection, scholars consider the historical conditions, theoretical elements, and practical impediments to democracy, relying on Wolin’s insights as touchstones in thinking through what democracy means now and what it could mean in the future. Envisioning Democracy presents new perspectives on longstanding, current, and future issues surrounding democracy and liberalism in political theory."--
