Part of the Thinking in Action series, intended to provide sophisticated, if brief, philosophical explorations of important topics in an accessible format, this work by Mouffe (political theory, U. of Westminster, UK) critically examines emerging concepts of third-way consensus politics, warning that the belief in the possibility of a universal rational consensus is actually dangerous to democracy and risks transforming the left-right struggle into a struggle defined in moral terms. She illustrates the dangers of this with reference to right-wing populism and terrorism. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Since September 11th, we frequently hear that political differences should be put aside: the real struggle is between good and evil. What does this mean for political and social life? Is there a 'Third Way' beyond left and right, and if so, should we fear or welcome it?

This thought-provoking book by Chantal Mouffe, a globally recognized political author, presents a timely account of the current state of democracy, affording readers the most relevant and up-to-date information.

Arguing that liberal 'third way thinking' ignores fundamental, conflicting aspects of human nature, Mouffe states that, far from expanding democracy, globalization is undermining the combative and radical heart of democratic life.

Going back first to Aristotle, she identifies the historical origins of the political and reflects on the Enlightenment, and the social contract, arguing that in spite of its good intentions, it levelled the radical core of political life.

Contemporary examples, including the Iraq war, racism and the rise of the far right, are used to illustrate and support her theory that far from combating extremism, the quest for consensus politics undermines the ability to challenge it. These case studies are also highly effective points of reference for student revision.

On the Political is a stimulating argument about the future of politics and addresses the most fundamental aspects of democracy that will aid further study.
