Chantal Mouffe is a Belgian political theorist. She holds a professorship at the University of Westminster in the United Kingdom. She is best known as co-author of Hegemony and Socialist Strategy with Ernesto Laclau. Their thoughts are usually described as post-Marxism as they were both politically active in the social and student movements of the 1960s including working class and new social movements (notably second-wave feminism in Mouffe's case).

Quotes by Chantal Mouffe (?)

“All forms of consensus are by necessity based on acts of exclusion”
― Chantal Mouffe

“a central task of democratic politics is to provide the institutions which will permit conflicts to take an ‘agonistic’ form, where the opponents are not enemies but adversaries among whom exists a conflictual consensus.”
― Chantal Mouffe, Agonistics: Thinking The World Politically

“La convicción de que solo deben utilizarse argumentos racionales, y de que hay que evitar apelar a los afectos, conduce a políticas con las que la gente no se identifica porque no reconoce en ellas sus propios problemas, frustraciones y demandas. La izquierda invierte mucha energía en la elaboración de programas y la enumeración de las maravillosas políticas que implementará cuando llegue al poder. Sin embargo, nunca se plantea cómo llegar allí, cómo llevar a la gente a desear esas políticas, como si las buenas políticas bastaran para generar adhesión de manera automática, sin necesidad de activar la dimensión afectiva que producirá la identificación e impulsará el compromiso político. Las políticas que se niegan a abordar esos afectos tienen pocas probabilidades de tener repercusión en la gente.”
― Chantal Mouffe, El poder de los afectos en la política: Hacia una revolución democrática y verde (Sociología y Política)
