Changes

In a compelling and unusual experiment, [[three ]] eminent theorists engage in a dialogue on central questions of contemporary [[philosophy ]] and [[politics]]. Their essays, organized as [[separate ]] contributions that respond to one [[another]], range over the [[Hegelian ]] legacy in contemporary critical [[theory]], the [[theoretical ]] dilemmas of [[multiculturalism]], the [[universalism]]- versus-particularism debate, the strategies of the [[Left ]] in a globalized [[economy]], and the relative merits of post-structumalism and [[Lacanian ]] [[psychoanalysis ]] for a critical [[social ]] theory.

While the rigour and intelligence with which these writers approach their [[work ]] is formidable, ''[[Contingency]], [[Hegemony]], [[Universality]]'' benefits additionally from their clear [[sense ]] of [[energy ]] and [[enjoyment ]] in a revealing and often unpredictable [[exchange]].
