This pioneering book delivers a systematic account of agonistic
democracy, and a much-needed analysis of the core components of
agonism: pluralism, tragedy, and the value of conflict. It also
traces the history of these ideas, identifying the connections with
republicanism and with Greek antiquity. Mark Wenman presents a
critical appraisal of the leading contemporary proponents of
agonism and, in a series of well-crafted and comprehensive
discussions, brings these thinkers into debate with one another, as
well as with the post-structuralist and continental theorists who
influence them. Wenman draws extensively on Hannah Arendt, and
stresses the creative power of human action as augmentation and
revolution. He also reworks Arendt's discussion of reflective
judgement to present an alternative style of agonism, one where the
democratic contest is linked to the emergence of a militant form of
cosmopolitanism, and to prospects for historical change in the
context of neoliberal globalisation.
