"""Deeper engagement with the work of Marcel Gauchet is important for both social science and understanding the contemporary world and its crises. In this volume, Doyle and McMorrow combine translations of new work by Gauchet with astute and timely discussions of how his work informs contemporary debates on democracy. It should be widely read."" Craig Calhoun, Arizona State University ""Slowly but surely, Marcel Gauchet is being recognised as a key thinker whose work is a vastly more insightful account of the modern condition than the fashionable canon of ""French theory."" He has published path-breaking analyses of twentieth-century totalitarianisms as well as of the more recent neo-liberal turn. This collection of critical essays on various aspects of his thought, accompanied by two of his most representative shorter texts, is a landmark in the English-language debate around Gauchet´s interpretation of democracy, its preconditions and its contemporary problems."" Johann P. Arnason, La Trobe University/Charles University"
