Jacques Rancière (born Algiers, 1940) is a French philosopher and Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at the University of Paris (St. Denis) who first came to prominence when he co-authored "Reading Capital" (1968), with the Marxist philosopher Louis Althusser. Rancière later split with his mentor, Althusser, over the proper response to the student revolt of May 1968. Today, Rancière is most well known for his aesthetic philosophy and books on democracy.
