In Emancipation(s), Ernesto Laclau addresses a central question:
how have the changes of the last decade, together with the
transformation in contemporary thought, altered the classical
notion of "emancipation" as formulated since the Enlightenment? Our
visions of the future and our expectations of emancipation, have
been deeply affected by the changes of recent history: the end of
the Cold War, the explosion of new ethnic and national identities,
the social fragmentation under late capitalism, and the collapse of
universal certainties in philosophy and social and historical
thought. Laclau here begins to explore precisely how our visions of
emancipation have been recast under these new conditions. Laclau
examines the internal contradictions of the notion of
"emancipation" as it emerged from the mainstream of modernity, as
well as the relation between universalism and particularism which
is inherent in it. He explores the making of political identities
and the status of central notions in political theory such as
"representation" and "power," focusing particularly on the work of
Derrida and Rorty. Emancipation(s) is a significant contribution to
the reshaping of radical political thought.
