<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In this work, Mouffe argues that liberal democracy misunderstands the problems of ethnic, religious and nationalist conflicts because of its inadequate conception of politics. He suggests that the democratic revolution may be jeopardized by a lack of understanding of citizenship, community and pluralism. Mouffe examines the work of Schmidt and Rawls and explores feminist theory, in an attempt to place the project of radical and plural democracy on a more adequate foundation than is provided by liberal theory.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Evocative and challenging."--<i>Radical Philosophy</i> <p/>"An indispensable read."--<i>Harvard Educational Review</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Chantal Mouffe</b> is a Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for the Study of Democracy at the University of Westminster.
