Claude Lefort on Modern Democracy

Summary/Abstract: Claude Lefort's Democracy and Political Theory is a translation of Essais sur le politique (xixe-xxe siecles) , a collection of previously published articles. 1 The essays are grouped under four headings: "On Modern Democracy"; "On Revolution"; "On Freedom"; and "On the Irreducible Element". Although the essays have the coherence of a single point of view, the first group presents the fundamentals of his approach to the theory of democracy and this will be the focus of my discussion here.
