Thinking Radical Democracy: The Return to Politics in Post-War France

‘Thinking Radical Democracy is an important intervention in contemporary debates concerning political thought; it demonstrates both the historical roots of radical democratic theory and the respective merits of the work of Abensour, Balibar, and Rancière.’

Devin Zane Shaw, Symposium: Journal of the Canadian Society for Continental Philosophy vol 19:01:2015

‘Thinking Radical Democracy makes an important contribution to our understanding of recent French intellectual history. Its intervention in postulating a left wing of the French ‘return’ of political philosophy breathes new life into this historical interpretation.’

Jacob Hamburger, Politics, Religion, and Ideology; March 2016

‘As a series of surveys into discrete theories of radical democracy, this collected volume excels… Breaugh does a quite admirable job in explicating the underlying philosophy that informs radical democratic ideas.’

J. Matthew Hoye, Contemporary Political Theory March 2017

“Thinking Radical Democracy is a serious contribution to the literature on theories of radical democracy. I learned something new from every chapter.”

Lasse Thomassen, School of Politics and International Relations, Queen Mary, University of London

“Pushing the renewed interest in post-war French political thought in new and exciting directions, this collection makes the case that there is an understudied radical current of democratic thinking in post-war French thought. Thinking Radical Democracy does an immense service to Anglophone political thought by starting a conversation on the political theory of these thinkers.”
