Politics

Summary

Dominique Pagani rejects the idea that "everything is political": in his view, a large part of existence escapes political reading, and this is how Clouscard should be read1. The relation between philosophy and politics nonetheless engages the very essence of philosophy. In Plato, philosophy is born of a political failure, the death of Socrates, and it culminates in the Republic and the Laws2. Politics thus frames it at both ends: the trauma at the origin, the descent back into the cave at the end3. Following Marx, he makes the political the real universal and the locus of all efficacy. This political exists today in the form of the nation-state, and the social or the societal must not replace it45. He locates its most difficult action in self-limitation: letting develop what pursues ends other than its own6. Finally, he notes with Aristotle that politics divides men whereas mathematics unites them.
