- Conclusion.
520 The year 2016 witnessed an unprecedented shock to
political elites in both Europe and America. Populism was
on the march, fueled by a substantial ignorance of, or
contempt for, the norms, practices, and institutions of
liberal democracy. It is not surprising that observers on
the left and right have called for renewed efforts at
civic education. For liberal democracy to survive, they
argue, some form of political education aimed at "the
people" is clearly imperative. In Teachers of the People,
Dana Villa takes us back to the moment in history when
"the people" first appeared on the stage of modern
European politics. That moment - the era just before and
after the French Revolution - led many major thinkers to
celebrate the dawning of a new epoch in the history of
mankind. Yet these same thinkers also worried intensely
about the people's seemingly evident lack of political
knowledge, experience, and judgment. Villa shows how
reformist and progressive sentiments were often undercut
by a deep skepticism concerning the political capacity of
ordinary people. Difference aside, Rousseau, Hegel,
Tocqueville, and Mill all thought that "the people" needed
to be restrained, educated, and guided - by specific laws
and institutions and by a skilled political elite. The
result, Villa argues, was less the taming of democracy's
wilder impulses than a pervasive paternalism culminating
in new forms of the tutorial state. Ironically, it is the
reliance upon the distinction between "teachers" and
"taught" in the work of these theorists that generates
civic passivity and ignorance. And this, in turn, creates
conditions favorable to the emergence of an undemocratic
and illiberal populism. -- from dust jacket
