“Democracy was born out of the collapse of regimes of theocratic ‘certainty’ and the impasse in which despotic or tyrannical regimes found themselves. It is an attempt to find ways for a people to enter the future together. It is not able to produce calculations and projections that would reabsorb the unknown, non-knowledge. But what it can offer, and what only it can offer, is an equal sharing of the burden of finitude and non-knowledge.”
