1. What does Walzer see as the crucial difference between the enterprises of philosophy and democratic politics?
 

2. Why is it so easy, and indeed so dangerous, to confuse the two and lose sight of the difference between them?
 

3. In what sense is the U.S. Supreme Court similar to a vanguard political party?
 

4. Walzer describes three ways in which democratic decision-making (Majority rule) might be constrained.  What are they?  Why is the third "absurd"?  (If indeed you think it is - perhaps not?)
 

5. Walzer writes: "The interventions of philosophers should be limited to the gifts they bring.  Else they are like Greeks bringing gifts, of whom the people should beware, for what they have in mind is the capture of the city."

-What does this mean?
-To what is it alluding?
