aporia
Democracy is the fault line in Plato’s philosophy, because it actively deconstructs claims to universal truth. The imagined communities of shared narratives shift as new arguments and perspectives, new ways of life and defamiliarizing representational modalities are introduced into the politeia. This hybridity is an expression of the demos without essence or teleology, an unimaginable framework from a Platonic point of view, but the actual observable fact of everyday life in a functioning democracy.
