And the ‘Thing Itself’ Is Man: Radical Democracy and the Roots of Humanity
Original language description
This book chapter focuses on Karel Kosík’s concept of “democracy”. The author argues that in spite of the significant changes that Kosík’s thought underwent over the course of his life, the figure of “the people” appears consistently to play the role of a mediating term between two apparently contradictory notions of “the human being”. While the human being appears sometimes as an absolute, abstract essence and sometimes as a socially constituted category, “the people” is conceptualised both as constituted and as (potentially) self-constituting.
