A crise da democracia segundo Derrida

Abstract

Jacques Derrida sees the crisis of democracy not in terms of a historical movement to be overcome by compensatory actions, but in terms of a permanent crisis always already caused by an autoimmune system that attacks the democratic organism from the inside. The privileged way to resist this permanent crisis consists in the possibility of imagining an unprogrammed and unpredictable avenir that turned out to become the object of severe criticism by major representatives of the Marxist tradition.
