This book shows that true ‘revolutionary’ achievements in contemporary civil society must start from an analysis of traditional categories. In particular, the proposition of new models for the functioning of democracy, through participatory institutions, must pass through a detailed analysis of the democracy of representation and the crisis of parliaments. The proposition of the new and revolutionary category of the commons must have as its starting point the crisis of public property, which is increasingly at the service of technocratic and financial processes. This presupposes a commitment of citizenship, to make law live beyond itself, and to realise the phenomenon that has been called civic theology through law in action.
