Examines the political perspective of French thinker and historian Jacques Rancière. Rancière argues that a democratic politics is one that emerges out of people’s acting under the presupposition of their own equality with those better situated in the social hierarchy. Todd May examines and extends this presupposition.



“May’s is the first book-length study of one of contemporary Europe’s most important thinkers, but more than this, it is also a radical engagement with some of the fundamental questions raised by political philosophy today.”

—Philip Watts, Columbia University
