Santayana on Democracy

Pages 299-305 | Published online: 30 Jan 2008
 

Abstract

In his clever On Self-Government: First Dialogue, Santayanal has presented the keenest brief inquiry into the virtue of democracy that it is my fortune to know. Imputed to Socrates and Stranger, the dialogue proceeds after the Socratic manner into a detached, academic (and wholly interesting) discussion of the supposed oracular pronouncement: “Right government rests on the will of the governed.”
