However, the possibility of struggle within the state should not be denied in favor of an ideal vision of consensus. This ideal implies an imagination of a state without real politics, and this is an unrealistic option. Without adopting Schmitt’s general, strict distinction between political and moral judgments, I subscribe to his denunciation of a practice of consensus-building which is enforced on people from a state perspective, without active engagement with possible adversaries. Schmitt’s claim that antagonistic relations are internal to state politics broadens the field of political agency to those who are opposed to politics as it is represented within state institutions.

At the same time, their work should not be seen as a “pulling back into the position of the philosophical” (Nancy & Lacoue-Labarthe 1997, 107). It is not the case that At the Threshold between Politics & the Political 33 philosophy is used to present the political in a new theoretical form; rather, the retracing of the position of the political, which has already shaped our thought, is a philosophical enterprise for Nancy and LacoueLabarthe.
