The Spirit Of Democracy

By Lyman Abbott

Book Overview

The Spirit of Democracy, written by Lyman Abbott, is a book that explores the principles and values that underpin democratic societies. The author examines the origins of democracy, its historical development, and its current state in various countries around the world. He argues that the spirit of democracy is rooted in the belief that all people are created equal and have the right to participate in the decision-making processes that shape their lives. Abbott also explores the challenges that democratic societies face, such as the rise of authoritarianism and the erosion of civil liberties. He offers insights into how these challenges can be overcome by fostering a culture of democracy that values individual freedom, social justice, and the common good. The Spirit of Democracy is a thought-provoking and insightful book that provides a nuanced understanding of the ideas and ideals that animate democratic societies.The Author Gave A Course Of Lectures In The Winter Of 1909-10 Before The Brooklyn Institute Of Arts And Sciences, This Volume Is Composed Of The Substance Of Those Lectures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
