ENSAIO SOBRE OS PRIVILÉGIOS

The text translated here is the Nouvelle édition of the work originally published in 1788. In 1789, this new edition was published with the addition of some footnotes. Sieyès, in this work, makes a criticism of the hereditary privileges of the nobility; this privileged class is nothing more than a burden both for the State and for the social body. The translation was performed by members of the Translation Group of the Department of Philosophy of the University of Brasilia. The group proposes to regularly translate works of philosophy still unpublished in Portuguese and make them available in open access journals. The translation work is produced collaboratively through the digital platform Traduxio (https://traduxio.org/).O texto aqui traduzido é a nouvelle édition da obra publicada originalmente em 1788. Em 1789, é publica essa nova edição com o acréscimo de algumas notas de rodapé. Sieyès, nesta obra, faz uma crítica aos privilégios hereditários da nobreza; essa classe privilegiada, nada mais é que um fardo tanto para o Estado quanto para o corpo social. A tradução foi realizada por integrantes do Grupo de Tradução do Departamento de Filosofia da Universidade de Brasília. O grupo se propõe traduzir regularmente obras de filosofia ainda inéditas em língua portuguesa e disponibilizá-las em periódicos de acesso livre.

Concentration or representation : the struggle for popular sovereignty

There is a tension in the notion of popular sovereignty, and the notion of democracy associated with it, that is both older than our terms for these notions themselves and more fundamental than the apparently consensual way we tend to use them today. After a review of the competing conceptions of 'the people' that underlie two very different understandings of democracy, this article will defend what might be called a 'neo-Jacobin' commitment to popular sovereignty, understood as the formulation and imposition of a shared political will. A people's egalitarian capacity to concentrate both its collective intelligence and force, from this perspective, takes priority over concerns about how best to represent the full variety of positions and interests that differentiate and divide a community
