Democracy in question

La démocratie en question is intended as an argumentative solution to the thorny problem of the nature of democracy. However, it is the fruit of the deepening of a philosophical reflection begun in 1989. In it, the perception and apprehension of the true nature of democracy are presented as real reasons to support the struggle for its promotion and expansion throughout the world. The author takes an unorthodox, anti-complex, analytical and critical approach to this issue, based on the observation of facts and political phenomena on a global scale, but in relation to Africa, and on reflection. The book is structured around three main points: democratic ambivalence, the political aspects and forms of this ambivalence, and the ups and downs of democracy. This reflection is motivated by the advantages of democracy as the political Good par excellence. But as presented, and even more so today, it appears ambiguous.
