Modern mass democracies are presently threatened by the political indiffernece of their citizens. Alex Zakaras argues that the nineteenth-century ideal of individuality suggests a response to this indifference and a way of understanding the burdens of contemporary citizenship. In exploring this idea, he turns to a pair of philosophers--John Stuart Mill and Ralp Waldo Emerson--who were among the first to confront the specific challenge of making mass democracy work.
