FAIR, HERNÁN. POLITICAL ETHICS IN CONTEMPORARY DEMOCRACIES: CRITICAL REFLECTIONS ON THE NORMATIVE DEFICIT IN ERNESTO LACLAUS'S THEORY OF HEGEMONY. CS [online]. 2014, n.13, pp.19-46. ISSN 2011-0324.  https://doi.org/10.18046/recs.i13.1820.

This article presents a critical reflection on the philosophical principles of the post- Marxist perspective on hegemony of Ernesto Laclau. The text focuses on one of its most problematic aspects, that of the normative deficit in his theory of political identities. It additionally suggests, with Laclau's positing of radical and pluralistic democracy serving as a starting point, some theoretical concepts for analyzing the politico-ethical in contemporary democracies.

Palabras clave : Ethics; Politics; Democracy; Ernesto Laclau; Post-foundational political thought.
