This lecture highlights the fundamental distinction between the revolutions of the ancient world and the revolutions of the modern world, embodied in democratic revolutions. It will consider the five principles of the democratic norm, and will also focus on the relationship between the notion of democratic revolution and political and moral philosophy, through the principle of non-suffering, as the mainspring of democratic revolutions. The question of democratic revolution is an ethical question that transcends theories, institutions and laws. All these categories are merely crystals in the composition of the democratic rock.
