%X Sa£¿etak In accord with Jean¨CLuc Nancy and Alain Badiou the article argues for an understanding of the idea of democracy as a ¡°truth procedure¡± that is instigated by the event of the encounter of at least two persons or peoples. When Nancy states that democracy is ¡°spirit,¡± ¡°breath,¡± and ¡°sense¡± he implicitly links democracy to the idea of the soul. As life principle of the human being the soul instigates a truth procedure which brings humanity into being as an idea that exceeds any concept of citizenship bound to a state or nation. In association with both Giorgio Agamben¡¯s reading of Karl Marx and Jacques Ranci¨¨re¡¯s concept of politics the article concludes with the statement that the idea of democracy refers to the soul of politics which is the idea of humanity
