It begins ...
What could be more anachronistic?in the media culture and political climate of 2006?than the founding of a quarterly journal of ideas? In light of the venomous screeds, discourses on "framing" and political positioning, or any of the other obsessions progressives have adopted of late, who would think that there was an appetite for a meaningful discussion devoted to facts and the basic questions of progressive philosophy? It?s almost as if we were to announce the return of poodle skirts and pet-rocks. But we believe that, to regenerate the strength of the progressive movement, big ideas are vitally important. And Democracy represents our bet?and the bet of our supporters?that they will matter.
There's good stuff in the first edition ... my printer still hasn't forgiven me for running off all 100 or so pages of the PDF version through it.
