Radical Intellectuals and
the Subversion of Progressive Politics
Political Philosophy and Public Purpose
Series Editor: Michael J. Thompson
This series offers books that seek to explore new perspectives in social and
political criticism. Seeing contemporary academic political theory and phi-
losophy as largely dominated by hyper-academic and overly technical debates,
the books in this series seek to connect the politically engaged traditions of
philosophical thought with contemporary social and political life. The idea
of philosophy emphasized here is not as an aloof enterprise, but rather a pub-
licly oriented activity that emphasizes rational reflection as well as informed
praxis.
