Review :
'...in Claude Lefort: Thinker of the Political we have a collection of essays that is perpetually circling notions of contingency; of impermanence; of indeterminacy in political and social life; of the dissolution of the markers of certainty; and of a common vocabulary that is rooted not in the resolution of political conflict, but in its negotiation.' Dan DiPiero, Continental Philosophy Review, Volume 6, No.4, December 2013
