An ideal is made answerable to reason when, under some description, it is shown to merit allegiance.
Postmodern critics, however, attack the ideal of authenticity not as a symptom of cultural decline, but on the grounds that it is a con or a subterfuge for domination.
Characteristically, however, the postmodernist critic of the ideal of authenticity extends this line of thought to the conclusion that the idea of an authentic self is a delusion enmeshed within the sinister purposes of mastery and exclusion.

 S/R 5: Radical Democracy: A Contested/ing Terrain (Sandilands)
First, radical democracy is, clearly and crucially, government by the root, by "the people." Although there are a number of different ways of thinking about "the people," I would argue that radical democracy understands "the people" to be constituted through diverse experiences, needs, and desires as both individuals and members of communities.
Thus, radical democracy is a form of politics that recognizes diversity, and invites participation from a variety of social spaces.
In a radical democracy, it is precisely the double-movement between proliferation of specificities and constitution of a "we" that defines its difference from other versions of democracy: neither the universal nor the particular is sacred.

 Mediated Radical Polymerization
All of these processes involve the presence of a capping agent (nitroxyl radical, halogen atom, organometal moiety, or other molecular fragment) to react reversibly with the propagating radical to generate a non-radical species which is unreactive.
In this bound state the propagating radical is stable or dormant and unable to participate in termination or chain transfer processes.
The term mediated radical polymerization (MRP) is not only descriptive of a wide range of radical polymerizations carried out in the presence of agents to modify the reactivity of the propagating species but avoids the confusion associated with the terms living free radical, living radical, controlled radical polymerization and the like.

An implication of minimalism is the notion that the divine may best be conceived of as a collection of natural forces or ideals.
This continuing challenge of ideals is the ideal aspect of the transcendent.
We turn also to the power of a religious naturalism that emphasizes both the continuing transcendence of challenging ideals and the relative transcendence of surpassing resources to give us the challenge and the empowerment to undergo the drastic paradigm shifts which may be needed as we face our exponentially worsening ecological crisis.

 ABSTRACT ALGEBRA ON LINE: Ideal Theory of Commutative Rings
An integral domain D is called a Dedekind domain if each proper ideal of D can be written as a product of a finite number of prime ideals of D. We will show in Theorem 12.2.4 that a Dedekind domain has some of the properties of a principal ideal domain.
Let D be an integral domain with quotient field F, and let I be an ideal of D that is invertible when considered as a fractional ideal.
I is the intersection of all prime ideals of R that contain I. In any principal ideal domain, our next definitions both reduce to the statement that the ideal in question is generated by a power of an irreducible element.
