Contemporary political philosophy can be an intellectually challenging business. In order to be a practitioner, one has to have at least a nodding acquaintance with such notions as Pareto optimality, the maximin decision rule, the principle of minimax relative concession, Arrow's impossibility theorem, Roemer's general theory of exploitation, and so on. Yet many, or even most, of those who practice political philosophy are democrats, often of a liberal or socialist variety. In this conjunction of technical difficulty and democratic commitment, we should detect a point of consederable tension. For the abstruseness and complexity of these widely canvassed theories and principles sits ill with the insistence of at least some democrats on the desirability of social and political arrangements that are transparent to citizens and the hope that political comperence will be widely (or even universally) dessiminated among them.
