This book argues that humans evolved as an intrinsically cooperative species and that democracy is the political expression of our nature. Grounded in critical realism, it shows that sustaining democracy needs democratic institutions, democratic citizens, and democratic personalities that channel our capacities for cooperation and conflict.
