Description
The Truth of Democracy by Jean-Luc Nancy A provocative defence of May '68 and its enduring significance in the search for democratic truth. Forty years after the event, Jean-Luc Nancy re-examines the ideals and actors at the heart of this pivotal moment in French history. He argues that May '68 was not a period, but an interruption - a critical moment that revealed the "spirit of democracy", which is rooted in humanity's inherent incommensurability. In this direct and accessible work, Nancy presents a compelling case for rethinking democracy as a fundamental aspect of our shared experience of being in common.
