Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Over the last century some philosophers and political thinkers have begun to question the subject-centered conceptions of human beings and political existence that has characterized modern approaches to these issues. Emphasizing difference and ‘otherness,’ some of the challenges to subjective thinking appear to be hostile to any positive conception of political community. While thinkers who advocate challenges to subject-centered philosophy disagree with one another on many issues, they are often similarly criticized by many as irresponsible to important aspects of political life. Included within this criticism it is frequently argued that ‘post-subjective’ political thinking does not adequately describe positive identity within a community, nor that it acceptably justifies individual or group accountability within this community. This does not mean that ‘postmodern’ thinkers have thought themselves as abandoning politics. This paper examines some political thinking ‘beyond subjectivity,’ specifically focusing on Michel Foucault’s thinking about political identity, and on accountability in a ‘radical democracy’ in the writings of Chantal Mouffe. This examination should reveal some of the requirements and expectations of ‘identity’ and ‘accountability’ in political life – specifically concerned with how ‘decentering’ the subject responds to, or redefines, these expectations. The paper is primarily concerned to provide an evaluation of these two ‘post-subjective’ accounts of political life – where these accounts might explicitly or implicitly suggest a new source for identity and accountability, and when we might find them politically unacceptable where they seemingly lack such consideration.
