    DEMOCRACY’S ACHILLES HEEL
    BRUCE FLEMING
    Democracy’s Achilles Heel argues that the structure of democracy is a combination of two incompatible worldviews: one relativist and liberal, the other absolutist and conservative. This combination of opposites is essential for its survival, yet places democracy at risk since each worldview is prone to trying to engulf the other, creating threats from both the right and the lef...

    WHAT DOES ‘ART’ MEAN NOW?
    BRUCE FLEMING
    What Does ‘Art’ Mean Now? asks, and answers, fundamental questions about the nature of aesthetic experience and role of the arts in contemporary society.

    THE CIVILIZING PROCESS AND THE PAST WE NOW ABHOR
    BRUCE FLEMING
    Drawing on the thought of Norbert Elias and using as a thread a purposely apolitical example of cruelty to animals to focus on changes in attitudes, this book explores the ways in which we deal with a past that we now abhor. As we struggle to deal with the fact that our past shapes us—indeed is us, but is not us—and cannot be changed, the modern tendency is to demand merely cos...

    THE END OF THE MODERNIST ERA IN ARTS AND ACADEMIA
    BRUCE FLEMING
    This book identifies the—now moribund—Modernist spirit of the twentieth century, with its "make it new" attitude in the arts, and its tendency towards abstraction and the scientific process, as the impetus behind the academic structures of universities and museums, together with the development of discrete scholarly disciplines such as literary theory, sociology, and art histor...
