Abstract

This paper seeks to intervene into contemporary debates on the paradoxes of democratic founding by way of a critical engagement with conceptions of founding in contemporary political theory. Rather than subsume the problem into its diachronic or synchronic dimension, this paper contends that it is first important to investigate the concept of founding itself to better elucidate the problem. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
