Book Overview

Ajume H. Wingo argues that non-rational factors--rhetoric, symbols, and traditions--provide the actual source of motivation in the development and sustainability of the liberal democratic state. Drawing from historical and philosophical sources, Wingo demonstrates that these "veils" can play an essential role in a thriving, stable liberal democratic state.

Great Political Philosophy

A great look at the way certain symbols (speeches, monuments, history ...) influence Democratic behavior in society. These symbols or veils are looked at from a number of angles that provoke serious contemplation of the nature of liberelism and autonomy. Professor Wingo also introduces the concept of actually manipulating these symbols in order to achieve a desired Democratic behavior. This book presents an important philosophical argument in a well-organized and easy to grasp fashion. A great accompaniment to any study of history and politics.
