Hatred of democracy

In this vehement defense of the principle of democracy, Jacques Ranciere argues that the West can no longer simply extol the virtues of democracy by contrasting it with the horrors of totalitarianism. With Western governments exporting democracy via brute force, and reactionary strands in mainstream political opinion willing to abandon civil liberties, Ranciere argues that true democracy-government by all-represents a challenge to all elitist forms of power, which has earned it the fear and hatred of the new ruling class. In a compelling and timely analysis, Hatred of Democracy rethinks the subversive power of the democratic ideal.

  • "Dans ce livre, Jacques Rancière décrit les liens complexes entre démocratie, politique, république et représentation et aide à retrouver, derrière les tièdes amours d'hier et les déchaînements haineux d'aujourd'hui, la puissance toujours neuve et subversive de l'idée démocratique."
  • "This text explains how democracy - government by all - is the principle that de-legitimates any form of power based on the superiority of those who govern. It re-examines the subversive power of the democratic idea - and the opposition to it by Western rulers."

  • "Montre comment se manifeste une certaine haine de la démocratie dans ces pays qui se baptisent eux-mêmes comme des démocraties et envoient leurs armées promouvoir la démocratie à travers le monde. Célébrant hier la liberté démocratique contre le totalitarisme, ils feignent aujourd'hui de découvrir les dangers qui résident en elle. La démocratie est en fait le fondement paradoxal de la politique."

  • "In this vehement defence of democracy, Jacques Ranciere explodes the complacency of Western politicians who pride themselves as the defenders of political freedom. As America and its allies use their military might in the misguided attempt to export a desiccated version democracy, and reactionary strands in mainstream political opinion abandon civil liberties, Ranciere argues that true democracy'government by all'is held in profound contempt by the new ruling class. In a compelling and timely analysis, Hatred of Democracy rethinks the subversive power of the democratic ideal."@en
