Talmon's 1952 book The Origins of Totalitarian Democracy discusses the transformation of a state in which traditional values and articles of faith shape the role of government into one in which social utility takes absolute precedence.
The philosophy of totalitarian democracy, according to Talmon, is based on a top-down view of society, which sees an absolute and perfect political truth to which all reasonable humans are driven.

 Jacob Talmon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jacob Leib Talmon (1916-1980) was Professor of Modern History at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
Talmon argued that Rousseau's position may best be understood as "totalitarian democracy"; that is, as a philosophy in which liberty is realized "only in the pursuit and attainment of an absolute collective purpose."
Talmon's anti-utopian liberalism shares affinities with the political thought of Isaiah Berlin, Friedrich August von Hayek and Karl Popper.

 Anthony Arblaster, The Rise and Decline of Western Liberalism
According to J.L. Talmon, who represents himself as a defender of liberal democracy, Rousseau ‘demonstrates clearly the close relation between popular sovereignty taken to the extreme, and totalitarianism’ precisely because of his insistence on ‘the active and ceaseless participation of the people and of every citizen in the affairs of the State’.
Talmon concludes ‘Liberty is safer in countries where there are numerous levels of non-political private and collective activity, although not so much direct popular democracy, than in countries where politics take everything in their stride, and the people sit in permanent assembly.’
Thus Talmon declares that as far as ‘the final aims of liberal democracy’ are concerned, ‘the use of force is considered as an evil’—by contrast, of course, with ‘totalitarian democracy’, which resorts readily to the use of coercion.

Talmon's agenda (in his 3-volume intellectual history of >modern Europe, of which this is but one volume) is to demonstrate that >Rousseau's struggle with the contradictions between individual freedoms >and majority rule in democratic societies produced two strands: one >truly democratic (i.e., liberal), the other totalitarian, including >socialism.
It should be linked to the general theories of >totalitarianism produced during the Cold War which saw little difference >between fascism and communism.
In my view, Talmon's books are quite >crude in their theory, containing fairly dry descriptions of the ideas >of many thinkers in an unsuccessful attempt to shore up this interesting >but ultimately unconvincing theory.

 RADIO FREE EUROPE/ RADIO LIBERTY
Second, if democracy remains only a set of procedures for expressing the will of the majority rather than a system of values that recognizes the rights of minorities, some leaders may be able to mobilize nationalist passions which threaten not only free markets and peace but democracy itself.
A generation ago, Israeli political scientist J.L. Talmon published a book entitled "Totalitarian Democracy," in which he described a situation in which leaders use the forms of democracy to override individual rights, discriminate against ethnic and political minorities, and mobilize their populations for war.
Such a system, Talmon noted, substituted the form of democracy for its content, a switch that some observers fear may be happening now in Russia given the campaign Putin's government is conducting in Chechnya and against people from the Caucasus.

Here I am inclined to agree with Talmon, that those who "look for another City" belong to one religion, whether or not they intend to bring the Kingdom by force.
Talmon's approach is more intellectual, a study in political theory, with occasional analysis of the political and economic setting.
Talmon is too sweeping on the relation of the new secular faiths to Christianity: "All Messianic trends considered Christianity … as the arch-enemy'' (p.

Jacob Robinson's extraordinarily erudite book might have become the classic work on the Jewish catastrophe of the last war, had not its author limited himself to a very specific objective.
Publishers do not like collections of essays because they do not sell well; critics are not fond of them because they are awkward to review.
The theme of this interesting and provocative little book is the present role and future prospects of that large-scale corporate sector of the economy that now dominates what may be called American capitalism.

I have nearly finished reading J.L. Talmon's, "The Origins of Totalitarian Democracy." It's a very informative study, but focusing on the French Revolution does not reveal much about understanding the history of democracy, especially when it's thought of in such a contradiction of terms.
Even Talmon finds it difficult to reconcile empirical liberal democracy and messianic totalitarian democracy.
That seems to be explained by studying the French and his lack of understanding the ancient (first) democracy of Athens.
