There are only three volumes of his work: <i>Democracy and Political Theory</i>, <i>The Political Forms of Modern Society</i>, and <i>Writing, the Political Test</i>. From my perspective, "The Question of Democracy," "The Permanence of the Theologico-Political," and "Outline of the Genesis of Ideology in Modern Societies" are the most significant. I have them in PDF, if you can't get a hold of them. The three can be found in the first two volumes listed. He also writes about human rights, Arendt, Tocqueville, and totalitarianism in these volumes. The latter volume has interesting pieces on Strauss and Clastres.

Where, in your view, should someone who can't read French start? Or better, what one place should I start and end, if it comes to that? I’ve been thinking for awhile that I should have read Lefort.
