Exploring the complexities of democratic terminology, this work engages critically with Hobbes, known for his skepticism toward democracy. It highlights his analysis of democratic sovereignty, clarifying essential elements of governance amidst contemporary confusion. The book also addresses inherent political risks within democratic mechanics as critiqued by Hobbes. Additionally, it presents a reinterpretation of Hobbesian concepts to construct a normative framework that positions democracy as an ethical alternative to other forms of sovereignty, challenging traditional views.
