Abstract

"Around the world, faith in democracy is falling. Partisanship and mutual distrust are increasing. What, if anything, should we do about these problems? In this accessible work, leading philosophers Jason Brennan and Hélène Landemore debate whether the solution lies in having less democracy or more. Brennan argues that democracy has systematic flaws, and that democracy does not and cannot work the way most of us commonly assume. He argues the best solution is to limit democracy's scope and to experiment with certain voting systems that can overcome democracy's problems. Landemore argues that democracy's virtues, which stem, at an ideal level, from its inclusiveness and egalitarian distribution of power, are not properly manifested in the historical regime form that we call "representative democracy." Whereas "representative democracy" centers an oligarchic form of representation by elected officials, Landemore defends s a more authentic paradigm of popular rule-open democracy--in which legislative power is open to all on an equal basis, including via lottery-based mechanisms"--

Abstract

Quarante ans après mai 1968, la question de la morale et de l'éthique revient de multiples façons dans la société occidentale contemporaine et démocratique. Dans ce contexte, la question se pose de savoir comment fonder une éthique contemporaine ou, pour le dire autrement, d'identifier de quelle morale, publique et privée, peut encore s'accommoder une démocratie comme la nôtre, fondée politiquement sur la reconnaissance de l'individu et de ses droits comme valeur suprême. Alain Renaut commence dans ce livre par poser les termes de ce débat, en remontant tout d'abord aux choix originels posés par notre démocratie contemporaine et libérale, aux sortir des guerres de religion : nous sommes ainsi partis d'une éthique "minimale", réduite à l'idée de ne pas nuire à autrui. Cette option est-elle indépassable ? Ne pouvons-nous pas penser une éthique publique plus dense, qui ne remettrait pas en cause la liberté individuelle mais permettrait de nous orienter dans les questions éthiques qui se posent à nous collectivement et individuellement aujourd'hui ?

Abstract

En démocratie, "moraliser la vie politique" tel que je l'entends ces derniers temps me pose question. On veut "moraliser la vie politique" au nom de la démocratie pour réconcilier les citoyens avec la politique, car l'on a constaté le désintérêt de la population pour la politique dû aux scandales à répétitions causés par ceux qui exercent les mandats publics.

Abstract

Why democracy? Most often this question is met with an appeal to some decidedly moral value, such as equality, liberty, dignity or even peace. But in contemporary democratic societies, there is deep disagreement and conflict about the precise nature and relative worth of these values. And when democracy votes, some of those who lose will see the prevailing outcome as not merely disappointing, but morally intolerable. How should citizens react when confronted with a democratic result that they regard as intolerable? Should they revolt, or instead pursue democratic means of social change? In this book, Robert Talisse argues that each of us has reasons to uphold democracy - even when it makes serious moral errors - and that these reasons are rooted in our most fundamental epistemic commitments. His original and compelling study will be of interest to a wide range of readers in political philosophy and political theory.

Abstract

Europeans and Americans tend to hold the opinion that democracy is a uniquely Western inheritance, but in The Common Cause, Leela Gandhi recovers stories of an alternate version, describing a transnational history of democracy in the first half of the twentieth century through the lens of ethics in the broad sense of disciplined self-fashioning. Gandhi identifies a shared culture of perfectionism across imperialism, fascism, and liberalism-an ethic that excluded the ordinary and unexceptional. But, she also illuminates an ethic of moral imperfectionism, a set of anticolonial, antifascist practices devoted to ordinariness and abnegation that ranged from doomed mutinies in the Indian military to Mahatma Gandhi's spiritual discipline. Reframing the way we think about some of the most consequential political events of the era, Gandhi presents moral imperfectionism as the lost tradition of global democratic thought and offers it to us as a key to democracy's future. In doing so, she defends democracy as a shared art of living on the other side of perfection and mounts a postcolonial appeal for an ethics of becoming common.
