SUMMARY:

This dissertation analyzes the status of the antagonism category in the political theory of Carl Schmitt, Ernesto Laclau, and Chantal Mouffe. The dissertation consists of three chapters, each dedicated to one of the authors, which are connected by the central issue of the presence of antagonism in their political thoughts. The main goal of this study is to explain how the way antagonism is thought influences the nature of each author's political theory, from Schmitt's authoritarian sovereignty to Laclau and Mouffe's radical democracy. Additionally, we highlight the continuity and discontinuity between the authors, despite their differences in historical-political context and philosophical and political traditions. The study of antagonism is relevant due to the increasing intensity of conflicts in contemporary Western liberal democracies and the perceived crisis of legitimacy and representation in these democracies.
