In each case, the different stages of what has become known as 'modernity' were conceived as moments of transition towards higher forms of consciousness and social organization, holding the promise of a limitless future.

[We] far from perceiving in the 'crisis of reason' a nihilism which leads to the abandonment of any emancipotary projects, we see former as opening unprecedented opportunities for a radical critique of all forms of domination, as well as for the formulation of liberation projects hitherto restrained by the rationalist dictatoeship' of the Enlightenment.

(…) relations of production are not intrinsically antagonistic.

If there is no 'objective' historical tendency for the social to emerge as a homogeneous subject that would coincide with the empty universaliry of the opposite to the 'individual', then any 'social management will be by historically limited social actors. As a result, the radicality of a politics will not result from the emergence of a subject that can embody the universal, but from the expansion and multiplication of fragmentary, partial and limited subjects who enter the collective decision-making process.

Conceived as a form, capitalist relations of production are not intrinsically antagonistic. It should be remembered that capitalist relations of production consist of a relationship between economic categories, of which social actors only form part insofar as they are Träger (bearers) of them.

Every age adopts an image of itself- a certain horizon, however blurred and imprecise, which somehow unifies its whole experience.

Negativity is part of any identity and the rationalist project to determine the ultimate objective or positive meaning of social processes was consequently doomed to failure; the contingent and precarious nature of any objectivity only become fully apparent with contemporary capitalism and its associated dislocatory effects which show the historicity of being; and this recognition of the historicity of being-and thus of the purely human and discursive nature of truth opens new opportunities for a radical politics.

Without any doubt, ideologies bearing a historical transformation always exercise a violence on the contingent and limited reality that must embody them. There is in fact a certain distance or gap that is inevitable in any process of embodiment. But the dimensions of that gap are what finally counts, and the rule is clear: the more 'universal' the idea to be embodied is, the greater the distance from the historical limitations of the social agents intended as its bearers will be; and the more likely it is that the result will be a monstrous symbiosis.

The classic liberal misrepresentation of the worker-capitalist relationship reduced the latter to its legal form- the contract between free economic agents.

The Hegelian conception of contradiction subsumed within it both social antagonisms and the processes of natural change. This was possible insofar as contradiction was an internal moment of the concept, the rationality of the real was the rationality of the system, with any 'outside' excluded by definition. In our conception of antagonism, on the other hand, we are faced with a 'constitutive outside'. It is an ‘outside' which blocks the identity of the 'inside' (and is, nonetheless, the prerequisite for its constitution at the same time). With antagonism, denial does not originate from the 'inside' of identity itself but, in its most radical sense, from outside; it is thus pure facticity which cannot be referred back to any underlying rationality.

With antagonism, however, it is an entirely different matter: it is not my identity which is expressed, but the impossibility of its constitution.

Link between the blocking and simultancous affirmation of an identiey is what we call 'contingency', which introduces an element of radical undecidability into the structure of objectivity.

The automatism of market mechanisms is largely a myth- indeed, state intervention in the regulation of the economy has been greater under neo-conservative regimes than during the period of the welfare state.

To suppose that workers are profit maximizers in the same way as capitalists would be to remove all objective ground for any kind of link, whether automatically or hegemonically constructed, between the working class and socialism.

(…) unless antagonism is either reintegrated into the forces and relations of production schema or conceptually neutralized by a theory of subjectivity which deliberately establishes determinate relations with the latter, the theory of history based on the necessary development of the productive forces is faced with an 'outside' which strips it of any ultimate rational coherence. We have seen that the reduction of social agents to profit maximizers does not provide that neutralization, since it eliminates antagonism instead of explaining it.
