Agonistic pluralism - Definition and Overview

Agonistic pluralism is a term used by Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe to describe their model of democracy.

They argue that a society without differing opinions will never be possible, which is why instead of trying to struggle for an ideal which can never be reached society should accept this fact and try to "overcome" differences by accepting the different opinions (thus agonism as opposed to antagonism).
