This task links to the Course Assessment Specification (CAS): Democracy - the nature of democracy and different forms of democracy & theorists.

We are now going to undertake some wider reading to help us develop our understanding of democracy as a political idea. 

A C Grayling is a British philosopher and author. You can read more about him here. He has written over 30 books and in this unit of the course, we will read a selection of his work. The first chapter that we will read is from his book, 'Democracy and its Crisis', published in 2017. You can find the chapter attached to this post.

After you have read this chapter, write a 250 word synopsis of Grayling's main line of argument. 

You may upload your response to your student folder.
