Abstract

Chantal Mouffe (1943 - ) begins to defend her new political philosophy of ‘radical democracy’ in her “Radical Democracy: Modern or Postmodern?” with a meta-prediction:It is unlikely that Marxism will recover from the blows it has suffered; not only the discredit brought upon the Soviet model by the analysis of totalitarianism, but also the challenge to class reductionism posed by the emergence of new social movements. (Mouffe 261)
