This book reflects on the problematic relation of ethics to
politics in our 'democratic' era. If democracy implies the loss of
an ultimate foundation for both ethics and political action, how
can it be defended against its (ultra-nationalist,
fundamentalist,...) critics. Are there reasons for being a
'democrat' and what does it mean to be so or to act
'democratically'. Does this merely imply strict obedience to
certain procedures that we call 'democratic' or does a democratic
society ask for a democratic attitude or ethos. If so, how can this
ethos be defined and grounded. All contributions to this volume
articulate answers to these questions or to problems intrinsically
related to them (i.e. what is the status of the law when it loses
ultimate foundation). They do so by reflecting on the work of some
important contemporary French philosophers: Lefort, Lyotard,
Derrida, Levinas, Lacan, etc. (Peeters 1995)
