A lucid analysis of the fragilities of modern democracy. Publisher Description " La démocratie est la dictature de l'ignorance. " - Sumner Maine, juriste et historien, professeur à l'université d'Oxford, nous offre un texte d'une incroyable modernité et lucidité sur la démocratie et ses fragilités. L'essayiste regarde les idées démocratiques comme une maladie relativement dangereuse, et il en détaille les signes diagnostiques avec une subtilité remarquable. Conscient que le droit occupe une place centrale dans l'histoire du changement social, il s'interroge sur la pertinence d'un gouvernement de la communauté par la foule. Il décortique et analyse les constitutions britannique, américaine et française. Dans la veine d'Alexis de Tocqueville, il nous met en garde sur les vices cachés de ce système de gouvernement. Il met en lumière dans cet essai des tendances de fond qui apparaissent franchement aujourd'hui dans nos sociétés et les menacent à savoir le despotisme démocratique, la course effrénée aux suffrages, la médiocrité des classes dirigeantes, la tyrannie de l'opinion publique, l'individualisme, l'extrémisme et le populisme. Autant de dangers qui font vaciller la flamme de la démocratie partout dans le monde et qui doivent nous alerter.
