Imagined Democracies
Necessary Political Fictions
This book proposes a revisionist approach to democratic politics. Yaron
Ezrahi focuses on the creative unconscious collective imagination that
generates ever-changing visions of legitimate power and authority,
which compete for enactment and institutionalization in the political
arena. If, in the past, political authority was grounded in fictions such as
the divine right of kings, the laws of nature, historical determinism, and
scientism, today the space of democratic politics is filled with multiple
alternative social imaginaries of the desirable political order. Exposure
to electronic mass media has made contemporary democratic publics
more aware that credible popular fictions have greater impact on shap-
ing our political realities than do rational social choices or moral argu-
ments. The pressing political question in contemporary democracy is,
therefore, how to select and enact political fictions that promote peace,
not violence, and how to found the political order on checks and bal-
ances between alternative political imaginaries of freedom and justice.
Yaron Ezrahi studied political science and philosophy at the Hebrew
University of Jerusalem and holds a PhD from Harvard University. He
has served as an adviser on science policy to the White House, the U.S.
National Academy of Science, the OECD (1969-70), the Israeli Academy
of Science and Humanities (1973—83), and the Carnegie Commission
on Science (1992.). He is the recipient of a National Jewish Book Award
and of the Israeli Political Science Association’s Lifetime Achievement
Award (2009). He has been a member of the Hebrew University faculty
since 1972. Other appointments include a fellowship at the Center of
Advanced Studies in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University and
visiting professorships at the University of Pennsylvania, Duke University,
Harvard, Princeton, ETH Zurich, Brown University, and The Rockefeller
Foundation Bellagio Center. His works include The Descent of Icarus:
Science and the Transformation of Contemporary Democracy; Technology,
Pessimism, and Postmodernism (edited with Everett Mendelsohn and
Howard Segal); Rubber Bullets: Power and Conscience in Modern Israel;
and Israel towards a Constitutional Democracy (with M. Kremnitzer).
He is a cofounder and board member of The Seventh Eye, Israel’s lead-
ing journal of press criticism in Hebrew. His work has also appeared
in Minerva, Science Studies, Social Research, Inquiry, Foreign Affairs,
Transactions of the New York Academy of Sciences, and The New York
Times Magazine.
