Rancière's political philosophy

Rancière's political philosophy emphasizes the importance of equality and the disruption of traditional hierarchies. He argues that politics arises when those who are excluded or marginalized challenge established orders, revealing that social divisions are not natural but constructed. By doing so, they assert their equality and open possibilities for shared power and new ways of thinking. Rancière sees politics as an ongoing process of contestation that questions who has the right to speak or be heard, fostering a more just society where everyone has the capacity to participate equally in shaping our collective life.
