In fact, he might go so far as to say democracy is better off if you do.</p><p>Talisse is the W. Alton Jones Professor of Philosophy at Vanderbilt University and author of a new book called <i>Overdoing Democracy: Why We Must Put Politics in Its Place</i>. The book combines philosophical analysis with real-world examples to examine the infiltration of politics into all social spaces, and the phenomenon of political polarization.</p><p>Talisse's next book,<i>Sustaining Democracy: What We Owe The Other Side</i>, will be out later this year. He's also the host of the Why We Argue podcast.</p><h2>Additional Information</h2><p><a href="https://global.oup.com/academic/product/overdoing-democracy-9780190924195?cc=us&lang=en&"><i>Overdoing Democracy: Why We Must Put Politics in Its Place</i></a></p><p><a href="https://global.oup.com/academic/product/sustaining-democracy-9780197556450?q=Talisse&lang=en&cc=us" target="_blank">Sustaining Democracy: What We Owe the Other Side</a></p><p><a href="https://humilityandconviction.uconn.edu/why-we-argue/" target="_blank">Why We Argue podcast</a></p><br><br><small>The podcast and artwork embedded on this page are from Penn State McCourtney Institute for Democracy/The Democracy Group, which is the property of its owner and not affi
