What Democracy Must Mean: A Bioregional Take on Human Dignity (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781795310390)

Democracy in the world today is failing--partly because its adherents are not participating adequately, partly because "representational" democracy never truly honors local input, partly because "democracy" is restricted to a conventional political system that is abstract and fails many--but mostly because it assumes a traditional (worldwide) worldview that allows violent social hierarchy and ignores nature. That false worldview is finally beginning to implode, taking democracy and humans and nature with it. This book critiques that dysfunctional worldview and suggests what a saving democracy must mean: how it will honor the dignity of every human and of the biosphere of which we are an integral part.
