DEMOCRATIE : la meilleure forme de gouvernement ? – Intro à la philo politique avec Wolff (3/6)

➕ Support: https://fr.tipeee.com/dieu-de-la-philo/ In the first two episodes of this series on political philosophy, we explored whether the state of nature—that is, a society without a state—is desirable and whether the political power of the state is legitimate. We saw that Jonathan Wolff, in his classic introduction to political philosophy, considers the state both indispensable and legitimate, even if he admits that its legitimacy is difficult to establish. I also took the liberty of explaining the reasons for my skepticism or indecision on each of these points. In this episode, we will examine democracy. What is a democracy? And is democracy the best form of government? I will summarize Jonathan Wolff's argument and offer a few personal remarks in conclusion.
