Chantal Mouffe's writings have been innovatory with respect to
democratic theory, Marxism and feminism. Her work derives from, and
has always been engaged with, contemporary political events and
intellectual debates. This sense of conflict informs both the
methodological and substantive propositions she offers.
Determinisms, scientific or otherwise, and ideologies, Marxist or
feminist, have failed to survive her excoriating critiques. In a
sense she is the original post-Marxist, rejecting economisms and
class-centric analyses, and also the original post-feminist, more
concerned with the varieties of 'identity politics' than with any
singularities of 'women's issues'. While Mouffe's concerns with
power and discourse derive from her studies of Gramsci's
theorisations of hegemony and the post-structuralisms of Derrida
and Foucault, her reversal of the very terms through which
political theory proceeds is very much her own. She centres
conflict, not consensus, and disagreement, not finality. Whether
philosophically perfectionist, or liberally reasonable, political
theorists have been challenged by Mouffe to think again, and to
engage with a new concept of 'the political' and a revived and
refreshed notion of 'radical democracy'. The editor has focused on
her work in three key areas: Hegemony: From Gramsci to
'Post-Marxism' Radical Democracy: Pluralism, Citizenship and
Identity The Political: A Politics Beyond Consensus The volume
concludes with a new interview with Chantal Mouffe.
