TL;DR: Unger's recent work renews his earlier call for an empowerment of politics, involving our constant alertness to the possibilities of change, the revisability of those possibilities and the removal of all that falsely presents itself as unrevisable.
Abstract: Today, as ever, Roberto Unger challenges us to place our concept of the political at risk. Much of his recent work renews his earlier call for an empowerment of politics, involving our constant alertness to the possibilities of change, the revisability of those possibilities and the removal of all that falsely presents itself as unrevisable. This call for the empowerment of politics is not, of course, couched in the vocabulary of republicanism, as so much other recent legal theory is. But neither is it an appeal to the smashing of all contexts, to the tireless resistance to the institutional; no, Unger's great novelty is that his politics are both radical and institutional.
