Its chapters examine the influential democratic theories of two of the most prominent public intellectuals of the twentieth century—philosopher John Dewey and journalist Walter Lippmann—and show how their penetrating analyses can help us navigate the serious challenges facing democracy in the twenty-first century.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—William M.
