Reviews

"Imagining Modern Democracy presents a clear and convincing application of philosophical theory to practical politics. Hermida, using Habermas's theoretical reflections on law and democracy, provides a basis for understanding democratic practice in the Philippines. The book is essential reading for those interested in both Habermas's work and its implications for emerging constitutional democracies." — David M. Rasmussen, Editor-in-Chief, Philosophy and Social Criticism
