How Citizens Encounter the Democratic State

These insights revealed in the book reveal a hidden world of political participation, and they also highlight the dangers of romanticism, drawing attention to the need for productive ways of linking bottom-up agency to a wider infrastructure of political engagement.

Memory and Institutional Amnesia in Government

Memory and Institutional Amnesia in Government examines the way in which government suffers from institutional amnesia, meaning that it cannot hold or use memory of the past.

The Practice of Skepticism

This book argues that a comparative investigation of the thought of the sixteenth century French philosopher Michel de Montaigne and the ancient Chinese Daoist thinker Zhuangzi can help to understand one class of argument for these concerns, namely those connected to forms of skepticism.
