Dissolving certainty may usher a fully political era rather than politics’ end

Evidence

Perhaps what is dawning as a possibility in our political experience is something radically different from what postmodern prophets of the ā€˜end of politics’ are announcing: the arrival at a fully political era, because the dissolution of the marks of certainty does not give the political game any aprioristic necessary terrain but, rather, the possibility of constantly redefining the terrain itself. — Ernesto Laclau, On Populist Reason, 441
