Perhaps a theory of democracy supports and strengthens a theory of empowerment. On a grand scale, a theory of democracy is part of a theory of empowerment.... as democracy pulls up its sleeves and goes to work, on behalf of the people, she does empower.... to educate is power, to vote is power, to worship freely is power, to speak freely is power, to move about freely is power. Issues of inequities are more closely linked to a capitalistic society that sees all people in terms of, just that, capital.Kathryn M.

While the vision you are discussing certainly must be part of such a theory, it is only a small part.Aaron Schutzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10667097977144954236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21843852.post-9218142223389318512008-05-03T13:14:00.000-05:002008-05-03T13:14:00.000-05:00Aaron, I think i agree with you, that Dewey does n...Aaron, I think i agree with you, that Dewey does not create a particularly "robust" theory of government (or, for that matter, a theory of government at all).

It’s aimed towards a social practice designed to help everyone learn from the unique contributions and perspectives of others.<BR/><BR/>It is not, however, a particularly robust governance theory, or a theory of empowerment. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps part of our problem is that we conflate these too much?Aaron Schutzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10667097977144954236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21843852.post-47574485977981914962008-05-01T19:30:00.000-05:002008-05-01T19:30:00.000-05:00This is brilliant.
