In the essay linked above, Christoph Mohamad-Klotzbach argues that we need "to find different ways of making and keeping democracy visible". Mohamad-Klotzbach makes this argument because much knowledge on/of/from/for democracy "remains hidden deep in the oceans of potential knowledge and wisdom".

In a forthcoming book entitled "The Sciences of the Democracies", more than fifty of us support this argument. And that's because knowledge on/of/from/for democracy comes from across space, time, language, ethnicity, and species. Individuals and groups produce this information through both texts and non-texts and have done so for thousands of years. There are, in short, immense bodies of knowledge about democracy and, consequently, some of us refer to them as "data mountains". The point here is that we know preciously little about these data and have not yet given our best effort at organizing them.

We've got some ideas on how to promote various conceptions of democracy and also to help others who are already doing this.

What might you have in mind when it comes to making and keeping democracy visible?
