Republic, Conflict, Humors, Democracy, Machiavelli, Claude LefortAbstract
The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that Machiavelli's thought, by placing an insurmountable conflict between the constituent parts of the city at the center of political life, lays the foundations for a new understanding of the republic and of freedom. This theory of “humours”, as he called it, also sheds light on the dynamism of democratic societies, as we can see in the works of Claude Lefort.
