This article is an extended review of a recent publication on the political theory of social movements, especially those theories advanced by Antonio Negri and Ernesto Laclau. In the review, the author critically assesses the book's editors' attempts to reach a synthesis between the theories of Negri and Laclau. The reviewer considers this attempt praiseworthy but challenging, above all because the ontological presuppositions underlying Negri's and Laclau's political theories are largely incompatible, and any resulting synthesis would have to diverge significantly from either of the two synthesized components.
