Claude Leforts politische Philosophie kann mit ihrem Nachdenken über die Fragilität und geschichtliche Kontingenz der Demokratie neue Impulse für aktuelle Fragestellungen zur Gefährdung der Demokratie in der Gegenwart geben. Für Lefort repräsentiert die Demokratie als eine Möglichkeit zur Selbstorganisation der Gesellschaft, die jedoch nicht prinzipiell vor ihrem Scheitern bewahrt werden kann.

Der Artikel verortet Leforts Ansatz innerhalb des Diskurses der politischen Philosophie der Linken und diskutiert drei neuere Deutungen seiner Philosophie durch Bernard Flynn, Oliver Marchart und Andreas Wagner. Dabei wird Leforts Verhältnis zur Hermeneutik und Geschichtsphilosophie ebenso zum Thema gemacht wie seine Beziehung zum Postfundamentalismus und zur Diskurstheorie.... view less

Claude Lefort's political philosophy highly appreciates modern democracy, without being uncritical about it.
