Daniel Innerarity is Professor of Political and Social Philosophy and Ikerbasque researcher at the University of the Basque Country, Spain.
In this original and timely book, Daniel Innerarity implores us to
rethink the “game of politics,” and the concepts that we use to
understand it, in order to judge it with all the severity it
deserves. As he pushes against the cynics, Innerarity reminds us
that political philosophy can still be done and that it matters
that it is.

Penetrating, provocative and precise: this book is a major
contribution to the evolving global debate about the future of
democracy

former Director of the London School of Economics, UK*
Innerarity provides a thought-provoking analysis of the political
culture in liberal democracies as a changing world undermines the
basis of its stability. He poses important questions, and makes a
powerful case for seeking answers in a politics that is an
intelligent, responsive and - above all - universal activity.

Analysis, King's College London, UK*
