Classic bilingual collection. What should a politician do when he needs help in his role as a constituent and legislator? Turn to the philosopher and the innovations he proposes, as Plato wishes? Or take as his model the systems that are favored by the majority? Neither. He must simply free himself from a double illusion: that of novelty (not everything is truly new among political theorists, and what is is inapplicable) and that of sure values (regimes that, from a distance, seem exemplary hide many flaws and shortcomings). Disillusioning the political will henceforth be the true task of the philosopher, at least that assigned to him by Aristotle.
