|Is there any such thing as political philosophy?| So begins this provocative book by one of the foremost figures in Continental thought. Here, Jacques Ranciere brings a new and highly useful set of terms to the vexed debate about political effectiveness in the face of a new world order. What precisely is at stake in the relationship between |philosophy| and the adjective |political|? In Disagreement, Ranciere explores the apparent contradiction between these terms and reveals the uneasy meaning of their union in the phrase |political philosophy| -- a juncture related to age-old attempts in philosophy to answer Plato's devaluing of politics as a |democratic egalitarian| process. According to Ranciere, the phrase also expresses the paradox of politics itself: the absence of a proper foundation. Politics, he argues, begins when the |demos| (the |excessive| or unrepresented part of society) seeks to disrupt the order of domination and distribution of goods |naturalized| by police and legal institutions. In addition, the notion of |equality| operates as a game of contestation that constantly substitutes litigation for political action and community. This game, Ranciere maintains, operates by a primary logic of |misunderstanding|. In turn, political philosophy has always tried to substitute the |politics of truth| for the politics of appearances. Disagreement investigates the various transformations of this regime of |truth| and their effects on practical politics. Ranciere then distinguishes what we mean by |democracy| from the practices of a consensual system in order to unravel the ramifications of the fashionable phrase |the end of politics|. His conclusions will be of interest toreaders concerned with political questions from the broadest to the most specific and local.
