Political Equality and Democracy: Masses vs. The Select

This event is a philosophical discussion group exploring the complexities of political equality and the foundations of democracy. Participants will examine the dilemma of whether democratic governance, based on equal voting rights, can effectively manage society, or if it risks ignoring differences in knowledge or succumbing to manipulation. The session addresses the relationship between economic inequality and democratic participation, the legitimacy versus wisdom of democratic decisions, and how to restore the meaning of political equality beyond simple voting.
