Although the modern age is often described as the age of democratic
revolutions, the subject of popular foundings has not captured the
imagination of contemporary political thought. Most of the time,
democratic theory and political science treat as the object of
their inquiry normal politics, institutionalized power, and
consolidated democracies. The aim of Andreas Kalyvas study is to
show why it is important for democratic theory to rethink the
question of its beginnings. Is there a founding unique to
democracies? Can a democracy be democratically established? What
are the implications of expanding democratic politics in light of
the question of whether and how to address democracy s beginnings?
Kalyvas addresses these questions and scrutinizes the possibility
of democratic beginnings in terms of the category of the
extraordinary, as he reconstructs it from the writings of Max
Weber, Carl Schmitt, and Hannah Arendt and their views on the
creation of new political, symbolic, and constitutional orders.
