| Popis: | This paper takes a closer look at how the relation between liberalism and democracy has been addressed by different strands of the liberal tradition. Its purpose is to argue in support of two claims. Firstly, the claim that discourse on what the two ideals are about, and how they are related to one another, has been impaired by a failure to pay due attention to the distinction between the question of legitimacy and the question of institutional expediency. Secondly, the claim that, when the noted distinction is taken into account, the two ideals can be shown to complement each other in their outlook at how social and political life should be organized. |
