Overdoing Democracy: Why We Must Put Politics in Its Place by Robert Talisse

Join Robert B. Talisse, W. Alton Jones Professor of Philosophy at Vanderbilt University and an internationally recognized theorist of democracy, for a conversation about citizenship, moral disagreement, and political polarization.

“In this compelling book, Robert Talisse argues we can – that democracy can – suffer when we make every issue a political issue, and every moment a political moment. An incisive and highly readable book that proposes novel solutions for the polarized times we live in.” –Michael Patrick Lynch, Professor of Philosophy, University of Connecticut and author of Know-IT-All Society.

Q&A and book signing to follow. Books will be available for purchase at the event.
