DEMOCRACY: A DISCUSSION WITH CATHERINE COLLIOT-THÉLÈNE

Abstract

In this article, I discuss with Catherine Colliot-Thélène his theory of democracy and globalization expressed in La Démocratie sans ‘demos’. From some theses of Claude Lefort, very close to her own thesis, I raise some issues relating mainly to its Kantian and liberal perspective. It seems to me that Claude Lefort’s theory of democracy allows us to point out the aporias in which Colliot-Thélène engages.
