In his recent book ‘The Democratic Horizon’ (2014), political philosopher Alessandro Ferrara analyses democracy from a critical philosophical perspective in relation to globalisation and economic crisis. Ferrara’s earlier work has mostly focused on grounding notions of ethics and identity in contemporary pluralist society. In this interview, a connection between the areas is sought while the subjects of education and the clash of cultures are also touched on.
