Description
Professor Simon Tormey (School of Social and Political Sciences, University of Sydney) returns to a prominent theme of Agnes Heller's political thought: the relationship between modernity and democracy. Heller's work displays a notable ambivalence not about democracy, but about what form democracy should take. Introduced by Professor Peter Beilharz.
