Ep. 065 - The Enchanting Lie of Democratism
Magnus Podcast: Conversations from the Catacombs of Liberal Education
Listen to John interview Dr. Emily B. Finley, author of the newly released book, “The Ideology of Democratism.” Finley posits that the west has been deceived into a false understanding of Democracy that is far removed the true meaning of the word. This enchanting, imaginative “Democracy,” has its roots in Enlightenment thinkers, specifically Rousseau and The Social Contract.
