Sinossi

The major themes of this book are politics and interests. It examines the relationship between politics and interests from an abstract philosophical perspective rather than from the perspective of practical politics, and shows that the central task of politics is to serve the common interest and that the means for realizing the common interest resides in the political power of taking and implementing decisions. A modern plural democracy gives expression to this task in a characteristic way, by making the justification and legitimation of power part of the political "game". The democratic way of dealing with political power has a unique value which the author argues has been neglected by political theory. The present work aims to address this shortcoming.
