A wide-ranging overview of the emergence of post-foundationalism
and a survey of the work of its key contemporary exponents. This
book presents the first systematic coverage of the conceptual
difference between 'politics' (the practice of conventional
politics: the political system or political forms of action) and
'the political' (a much more radical aspect which cannot be
restricted to the realms of institutional politics). It is also the
first introductory overview of post-foundationalism and the
tradition of 'left Heideggerianism': the political thought of
contemporary theorists who make frequent use of the idea of
political difference: Jean-Luc Nancy, Claude Lefort, Alain Badiou
and Ernesto Laclau. After an overview of current trends in social
post-foundationalism and a genealogical chapter on the historical
emergence of the difference between the concepts of 'politics' and
'the political', the work of individual theorists is presented and
discussed at length. Individual chapters are presented on the
political thought of Jean-Luc Nancy (including Philippe
Lacoue-Labarthe), Claude Lefort, Alain Badiou, and Ernesto Laclau
(including Chantal Mouffe). Overall the book offers an elaboration
of the idea of a post-foundational conception of politics. Other
