Evaluate the drafted changes
Hi Andrew,

Your draft edits look very promising and it reads very well. In the quote by Mouffe I believe there is a negation missing but thats a minor detail. Here are my thoughts on your revised lead and added content --

Lead

It seems like the lead should also include the use in critical theory and fictional literature beyond the use in political theory.

Content

Your addition fits nicely into the article content and adds a useful dimension. The intended section on "critiques of agonistic pluralism" seems highly relevant as well and I am looking forward to reading it eventually. There are two things that might be added to the article if you agree with me: First, I wonder if it is useful to address the relationship between contemporary agonistic theorists and socialist ideology. The second, I know that it is hard to trace any empirical evidence of this theory due to its radical nature and therefore peripheral status in actual politics, however, especially Mouffe is interested in the way artistic practices might carry these ideas but also the role of political activism, both of them especially powerful in public space. There are various examples, I believe, that Mouffe mentions in her various articles, maybe some are relevant to bring up if they are more widely recognized as agonistic?

I am a big fan of these ideas so will be happy to discuss further and learn more from you.
