Jean-François Revel (1924 - 2006) was a French journalist, author, and philosopher.
Revel
does not confine his analysis to France. And he also gives warning to
the West about the fragility of democracies. Nor does he feel that
living in France has made him more sensitive to these issues. He speaks
as a European. "I have always said that democracy is an abnormal
political system. It's an exception. In Europe, people have always found
it difficult to maintain a democracy."
