The first section examines Laclau's theory that the contest between universalism and particularism provides much of the philosophical background to political and social struggle, taking up the important place accorded to, amongst others, Hegel and Lacan in Laclau's work. The second section of the book considers what Laclau's 'radical democracy' might look like and reflects on its ethical implications, particularly in relation to Laclau's post-Marxism and thinkers such as J?gen Habermas. The final section investigates the place of hegemony in Laclau's work, the idea for which he is perhaps best-known. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis stimulating collection also includes replies to his critics by Laclau and the important exchange between Laclau and Judith Butler on equality, making it an excellent companion to Laclau's work and essential reading for students of political and social theory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon Critchley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415238447\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415238441\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/26\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.68h x 6.68w x 1.08d","brand":"Simon Critchley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990176268543,"sku":"9780415238441","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0860c88b-2f57-48b8-b9e8-167232892f7f.jpg?v=1683303426","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/laclau-simon-critchley-9780415238441","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
