Il est commun, aujourd’hui, d’associer la démocratie au consensus, et ce d’une double manière : d’une part en admettant qu’elle est le meilleur régime politique possible, d’autre part en considérant que l’accord vaut intrinsèquement mieux que le désaccord, et l’entente que le conflit. La qualité de la démocratie tiendrait à ses débats publics, qui à la fois rendent possible la confrontation des points de vue, tout en y mettant fin par l’obtention de consensus éclairés et légitimés par la règle de la majorité. Et si le conflit, au contraire, dans certaines conditions, devait servir de principe à la vie politique ? Il ne suffit pas de vivre en démocratie pour rendre la démocratie vivante. La démocratie n’est pas un régime mais un questionnement. Elle exige des citoyens une interrogation continue sur le bien commun à suivre. Machiavel n’était pas un démocrate. Mais c’est étrangement en actualisant sa pensée, dans le sillage des travaux de Lefort, qu’il est possible d’associer le conflit civil avec l’imaginaire social pour redynamiser la démocratie par la tension conflictuelle entre l’idéologie et l’utopie. Penser la démocratie à partir de ce que donne à penser Machiavel : voilà ce que s’efforce de faire Sébastien Roman, pour proposer dans une perspective républicaine le modèle d’un espace public dissensuel.

Most people believe democracy is a uniquely just form of government. They believe people have the right to an equal share of political power. And they believe that political participation is good for us—it empowers us, helps us get what we want, and tends to make us smarter, more virtuous, and more caring for one another. These are some of our most cherished ideas about democracy. But, Jason Brennan says, they are all wrong. In this trenchant book, Brennan argues that democracy should be judged by its results—and the results are not good enough. Just as defendants have a right to a fair trial, citizens have a right to competent government. But democracy is the rule of the ignorant and the irrational, and it all too often falls short. Furthermore, no one has a fundamental right to any share of political power, and exercising political power does most of us little good. On the contrary, a wide range of social science research shows that political participation and democratic deliberation actually tend to make people worse—more irrational, biased, and mean. Given this grim picture, Brennan argues that a new system of government—epistocracy, the rule of the knowledgeable—may be better than democracy, and that it's time to experiment and find out. A challenging critique of democracy and the first sustained defense of the rule of the knowledgeable, Against Democracy is essential reading for scholars and students of politics across the disciplines.
