The Center for the Evolution of Democracy

The Center is dedicated to the task of making new ideas and information available for the purpose of democratizing undemocratic systems--and for improving democratic processes that are still only partially realized.

Democracy itself is not the final end. Rather, democracy is a means to the end of enhancing human life. It is a method by which the human community can care for itself, its environment, and its future evolution. Democracy is a step toward the infinite, toward the greater realization of values and abilities within ourselves that human beings have often associated with God.

We could say that democracy is love writ large and continually expanding. But love by itself is not sufficient. It must be organized by means that are consistent with the nature of loving--with intelligence, compassion, fairness, freedom, purpose...and inclusiveness.
