Jacques Rancière's "Disagreement" was a groundbreaking event in the philosophical landscape of France. Upon its release, it was immediately perceived as a manifesto and a redefinition of political philosophy. Rancière's repositioning of a critical social theory begins with a critique of the theory of politics in Plato and Aristotle, and then seeks to highlight disagreement as a central element of political philosophy: "What makes politics a scandalous subject is that politics is precisely the activity that, as rationality, has the rationality of disagreement." Rancière attempts to think about the return of political philosophy in the realm of political practice and thus as a practice itself.
