Democracy, State and Ideology: Political Stakes beyond the Desert of Utopias

This book aims to present some of the theoretical proposals that have positioned in Ibero-American academia as philosophical alternatives to the liberal democracy ideology. In it, we find a variety of essays where authors take a stand for or against various understandings of politics in the 21st century. It includes from texts that constitute a defense of individualism and political apathy as an ideological choice to essays supporting a new praxis founded in the radicalization of democratic participation or the performance of violently revolutionary political acts. The importance of new trends in the so-called post-political era is explained: radical democracy, neo-republicanism,liberal socialism, possessive individualism, post-Marxism, new post-structuralism (Foucauldian reading), social psychoanalysis, and political theology. Thus, the classic problems of political philosophy are updated based on an overview of the new paradigms in contemporary philosophy and political theory.
