Jan-Werner Müller Livres

La 4ème de couv. indique : "Qu'ont en commun Marine Le Pen, Donald Trump, Viktor Orban, Beppe Grillo, tous régulièrement qualifiés de populistes ? Cette accusation est aujourd'hui utilisée à tort et à travers, contre les adeptes de la démagogie et de la violence verbale, mais aussi parfois simplement pour discréditer un adversaire. La critique des élites suffit-elle à définir le populisme ? Le populisme a-t-il une couleur politique ? Doit-on exclure les populistes du débat démocratique ou, au contraire, leur répondre pied à pied ? Jan-Werner Mûller nous propose une véritable théorie du populisme et nous donne des clés pour répondre, concrètement, à ce phénomène inquiétant. C'est qu'il y a urgence. Parce qu'il s'approprie "le peuple", qu'il récuse la possibilité d'une opposition légitime, mais aussi la diversité des sociétés contemporaines, le populisme menace la toujours fragile démocratie, qui semble plus que jamais à la peine."

Carl Schmitt (1888-1985) was one of the 20th century's most brilliant and disturbing critics of liberalism. He was also one of the most important intellectuals to offer his services to the Nazis, for which he was dubbed the crown jurist of the Third Reich. Despite this fateful alliance Schmitt has exercised a profound influence on post-war European political and legal thought - on both the right and the left.
