What Size of City, and What Sort of City, Could (or Should) the City of Zion Be
Rescuing Democracy with Something Old
On the evening of October 22nd, at the reception to mark the opening of this year's Association for Political Theory annual conference, a moment of silence was asked for to honor the legacy and acknowledge the passing of Sheldon S. Wolin. It was a much deserved gesture. Wolin had been mostly—though far from entirely!1—silent over the past couple decades, but that matters little when it comes to a teacher and thinker of his caliber.Wolin's definin…
On Metaphysics and Nationality: The Rival Enlightenments of Kant and Herder
The enlightenment ideal has long been under fire, but perhaps by nothing so much as the continuing appeal of national belonging. The nation's affective hold on how people think about the world connects with metaphysical complaints with modernity, thereby making a rational response to nationalism especially difficult. This was an issue known to both Kant and Herder, who addressed themselves to the related metaphysical complications of nationality …

Herder's approach is based o…
Tending" and "Intending" a Nation: Conflicting Visions of American National Identity
Sheldon Wolin's categories of "tending" and "intending" expand the debate over the character of the American revolution and founding to include a central though often overlooked fact of late eighteenth-century America: the implications of the country's very fragile, very modern sense of itself as a nation. Both Federalists and Anti-Federalists articulated coherent conceptions of politics, bringing different elements of various liberal, republican…
Confucian and Communitarian Responses to Liberal Democracy
As East Asian societies struggle with the implications of modenity, the degree to which their Confucian heritage can support institutions of liberal democracy has been much debated. Recently, several authors have argued that the nations of Confucian Asia are indeed modernizing, but in the direction of “illiberal democracy”, which they see as an approach to democratic practice that takes communitarian concerns like social solidarity and political …
