A “obra” da ideologia e a invenção democrática no pensamento de Claude Lefort

A matter that is under theorized in the interpretations of the thinking of Claude Lefort relative to the invention of democracy, concerns the “work” of ideology in democracy, which takes us to the problem of the historic creation and the constant search for the annulment of the public sense inherent to this form of society, based on uncertainty, on indetermination, and on conflicts as sources of political liberty. This work discusses the meaning of ideology as a discourse that aims to appease and devitalize the inventive character of democracy. To do so, we present to the reader the Lefortian comprehension of democracy, understood in its ambiguous character, once it is subject to both the invention, as it is to ideological crystallization, being, in turn, on the dependence of a permanent work of interrogation of ideologies by the democratic men.
