Although the modern age is often described as the age of democratic
revolutions, the subject of popular founding 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. This study shows why it is important for
democratic theory to rethink the question of democracy's
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.
