Abstract
Radical ventures to expand common liberty push against various challenges. A conflictual plurality of perspectives interlocks with skepticism about the possibility of perfect freedom and equality. A salient response is an “agonistic” turn in the construction of freedom, bringing together difference, contingency, struggle, and creativity. However, more needs to be done in addressing the potential conflict of singularities in equal liberty. This paper seeks to partially fill this gap by drawing on the agonistic-pluralist discourses of Mouffe and Connolly, supplemented by postanarchist trends, which are keen to take the uncertain step beyond state and capitalism. A more vigorous ethos of liberty should tackle power relations as inherent potentialities, not as inescapable laws, giving up the hope that any particular logic of interaction, such as horizontal networks in a stateless world, holds the magic key to emancipation. The pursuit of concrete alternatives should be tied to reflective scrutiny and review.
