| Abstract
|
:
|
"We tend to think of the history of political thought in terms of well-defined ideologies or traditions. The Radical Attitude challenges this view through a re-reading of some of the central texts of modern political theory. It argues against the tendency to recruit certain authors or texts to 'conservative' or 'radical' traditions."--Jacket.
