Abstract
In the present essay, I intend above all to understand part of the core of the specific logic of Chantal Mouffe's political thought insofar as it aspires, in my opinion, to overcome Schmitt's thought, despite accepting his arguments against liberalism politician. The thesis I defend in this essay is that, in my opinion, Chantal Mouffe offers an approach that is decisive in reconstructing the republican and democratic tradition in the present. In this sense, his work would avoid at the same time the neoliberal offer of cosmopolitan governance, the liberal-democratic offer of Rawls's liberal rationalism, Habermas and Giddens; and the communist offer of Zizek. Nevertheless, in spite of the closeness in which he moves with respect to the thought of Ernesto Laclau, and of the acceptance of important common elements already constructed in Hegemony and Socialist Strategy, he also offers elements that distance him from the thought exposed in The Populist Reason. Without identifying all these elements we will not be able to understand the specific proposal of the author.
