- Abstract
This study will focus on how the theme of "the end of politics" is operationalized in the context of Jacques Rancière's understanding of politics and how Thomas Hobbes' idea of social contract should be read around this theme. For this purpose, firstly, the meaning of the distinction Rancière makes between "politics", "polis" and "political philosophy" in his various works will be emphasized, the disagreement he establishes between politics and philosophy will be analyzed in the context of the theme of the end of politics, and then Hobbes' idea of social contract will be tried to be read in line with the concepts of equality, freedom, and democracy. For this purpose, first of all, the distinctions Rancière makes between the forms of political philosophy in his work should be emphasized. Thus, it will be understood which of these forms of political philosophy Hobbes falls under. Furthermore, the claims on whether Hobbes' political philosophy is a starting point for Rancière's understanding of politics will be discussed and whether the concepts of democracy and equality in Hobbes are compatible with the concepts in Rancière's philosophy will be discussed. Here, the similarities between Hobbes' concept of democracy and Rancière's concept of post-democracy will be shown along with the relationship Rancière establishes between "the method of equality" and "the method of inequality".
