Marcel Gauchet and the Crisis of Democratic Politics
Neo-liberal ideology and the New World: An Interview with Marcel Gauchet
This interview was initiated by Natalie J. Doyle in Paris, a few months only after the publication in 2017 of Le nouveau monde , the last volume of Marcel Gauchet’s four volume history of liberal democracy, published over the course of ten years. It was then continued via email over the course of the following four years. Le nouveau monde offers a wide-ranging historical and theoretical analysis of the contemporary crisis of Western liberal-democ…
Productive Imagination: Its History, Meaning and Significance
Although the concept of productive imagination plays a fundamental role in Kant, German Idealism, Romanticism, Phenomenology and Hermeneutics, the meaning of this central concept remains largely undetermined. The significance of productive imagination is therefore all-too-often either inflated or underrated. The articles collected in this volume trace the development of productive imagination through the history of philosophy, identify the differ…

Islamophobia, European Modernity and Contemporary Illiberalism
The term ‘Islamophobia’ has been gaining quite a prominence over recent years.1 It has been used increasingly to refer to the rejection and discrimination from which the Muslim population in Europe
Islam, Depoliticization and the European Crisis of Democratic Legitimacy
A new form of political discourse hostile to Islam has been gaining ground in Europe. Initiated by neo-nationalist parties it appeals to liberal values and is now penetrating mainstream politics. The recent French presidential campaign threw light on the way Centre Right parties vying for government are increasingly instrumentalizing hostility towards Islam to respond to the political crisis triggered by the problem of public debt across the Euro…

Autonomy and modern liberal democracy: From Castoriadis to Gauchet
Marcel Gauchet's recently published theory of democracy sheds light on the way his understanding of modernity emerged from Castoriadis's notion of autonomy but also deepened it by contextualizing it within a discussion of modern historicity. Modern autonomy means re-shaping the world through a new, transformative, form of power that draws on humanity's capacity for imaginary creation. Gauchet's theory of modernity, however, rejects the possibilit…
Lessons from France: Popularist anxiety and veiled fears of Islam
Islam has become the second religion in a profoundly de-Christianized Europe that has seen its understanding of modern secularity harden. European countries have difficulties coming to terms with the presence of the large Muslim minorities who settled following post-war industrialization. France is a particularly instructive case, as highlighted by the legislative ban it introduced in 2010 on the wearing of full Islamic veils in public spaces. A …
The Sacred, Social Creativity and the State
This paper explores the specific contribution of a strand of contemporary French social theory founded by Cornelius Castoriadis and Claude Lefort to the under standing of human power. It formulates a conception of power that transcends its definitions in terms of physical coercion or institutionalised violence to reveal the way power is creative and institutes the social. Its reflection on the cultural nature of political power and it role in soc…

Democracy as Socio-Cultural Project of Individual and Collective Sovereignty: Claude Lefort, Marcel Gauchet and the French Debate on Modern Autonomy
French political philosophy has experienced a renewal over the last twenty years. One of its leading projects is Marcel Gauchet's reflection on democracy and religion. This project situates itself within the context of the French debate on modernity and autonomy launched by the work of Cornelius Castoriadis. Gauchet's work makes a significant contribution to this debate by building on the pioneering work of Lefort on the political self-institutin…
The End of a Political Identity: French Intellectuals and the State
Starting with a discussion of the crisis of French national identity that became fully apparent in the 1980s, this article examines the historical paradigm that conditioned the birth of French universalism and ultimately spelt its demise. Identifying as the determining experience the reification/deification of power performed by monarchical absolutism, it examines the evolution of what can be termed after Marcel Gauchet the French `political-inte…
