About this product
Product Information
In this study, political philosopher Claude Lefort illuminates the process by which writers negotiate difficult paths to free themselves from the ideological and contextual traps that would doom their attempts to articulate a new vision. Lefort examines writers whose works provide special insights into this problem of risk, both literary artists and political philosophers. Among them are Salman Rushdie, Sade, Tocqueville, Machiavelli, Leo Strauss, Orwell, Kant, Robespierre, Guizot and Pierre Clastres. In Tocqueville, for example, Lefort finds that the author's improvisatory and open-ended expression represents the character of the democratic experience. With the character and fate of the political forms of modernity, democracy and totalitarianism a central theme, Lefort concludes with some reflections on the collapse of the Soviet Union.
