In Time of Democracy, Timo Miettinen takes readers on a fascinating journey through the history of democratic ideas, showing how our political systems are deeply shaped by the way we understand the past, imagine the future, and live in the present. From Renaissance thinkers such as Machiavelli to modern ideas of crisis and revolution, the book traces how democracy emerged from a new understanding of change, human agency, and historical progress. Miettinen defends the openness of the future against both totalitarian visions and nostalgic retreats, showing how democracy withers when history is used to shut down alternatives.

Accessible, sharp, and packed with thought-provoking examples, Time of Democracy is perfect for students looking to connect big ideas from political theory, history, and philosophy to real-world issues, or simply curious about how time and history shape the way we live together. Whether you're studying democracy, European politics, or just curious about how time shapes the way we live together, this book offers fresh tools to think critically and creatively about the future of democratic life.
