Title : Familiar course in political philosophy - Pierre Manent - book

Summary :

How can we orient ourselves in the world? Political philosophy can best help us. Pierre Manent offers a reasoned picture of the world today that is, in itself, a reflection on the past century, on the wars and totalitarianisms that have occupied such a large part of it. On the threshold of the new century, democracy tends to detach itself not only from the accustomed national political framework, but even from any recognizable political form. Hearts are moved and minds obsessed by the imminent prospect of a pure democracy, freed from the old politics, and which would reign unchallenged according to the rules of law and the maxims of morality. The "great illusion" of our time is to see politics as the obstacle that prevents us from accessing real life. On the contrary, it is the political order that is the true human order.
