This book examines the political perspective of French thinker and historian Jacques Rancière. Rancière argues that a democratic politics emerges out of peopleâs acting under the presupposition of their own equality with those better situated in the social hierarchy. Todd May examines and extends this presupposition, offering a normative framework for understanding it, placing it in the current political context, and showing how it challenges traditional political philosophy and opens up neglected political paths. He demonstrates that the presupposition of equality orients political action around those who act on their own behalfâand those who act in solidarity with themârather than, as with the political theories of John Rawls, Robert Nozick, and Amartya Sen, those who distribute the social goods. As May argues, Rancièreâs view offers both hope and perspective for those who seek to think about and engage in progressive political action.
