La crisi della trascendenza democratica

In France the critical literature on democracy is in both rich and long lasting. Muchof this literature focuses not on democracy as a regime, but on democracy as a formof society. On such an issue Dominique Schapper’s last book, L’esprit démocratiquedes lois, must be considered an extremely valuable contribution. According to theauthor, the current crisis of democracy is not provoked not so much by its missingachievements, but by its same philosophical premises pushing the homo democraticusto increase always his expectations.
