What is A Nietzschean defense of democracy : an experiment in postmodern politics about?

<p><p>in A Nietzschean Defense Of Democracy, Hatab Offers A New, Postmodern Account Of Democracy, Freed From The Traditional Assumptions Embodied In The Enlightenment Project. Hatab Advances A Two-fold Argument&#58; First, That Nietzsche Was Wrong To Repudiate Democracy Since Democratic Politics Can Be More Amenable To His Way Of Thinking Than He Imagined; Second, Nietzsche Was Right To Critique Fundamental Flaws In Traditional Democratic Theory, Especially The Modernist Emphasis On Human Equality, Rational Subjectivity, And Natural Rights.<p></p> <h3>booknews</h3> <p>hatab (philosophy, Old Dominion U.) Agrees With Nietzsche's Repudiation Of Democratic Politics As He Saw Them, And As They Continue To Be Founded On Enlightenment Values. He Shows How A Postmodern Democracy Could Be Conducted Without Such Baggage As Egalitarianism, Essentialism, Or A Conformist Mediocrity, But Could Be An Agonistic Pluralism With An Unrestricted Meritocracy.
