Changes

Laclau's most important book is ''[[Hegemony and Socialist Strategy]]'', which he co-authored with [[Chantal Mouffe]]. Their thought is usually described as post-Marxist as they were both politically active in the social and student movements of the [[1960s]] and thus tried to join working class and [[new social movements]]. They rejected [[Marxism|Marxist]] [[economic determinism]] and the notion of [[class struggle]] being the crucial [[antagonism]] in [[society]]. Instead they urged for radical [[democracy]] of [[agonistic pluralism]] where all antagonisms could be expressed. In their opinion "...there is no possibility of society without antagonism", that is why they claimed that "society does not exist."
