PHIL 4323 Radical Political Philosophy
In political theory, a radical philosophy is one that argues that significant change-down to the roots-needs to take place in order for a just political regime to exist. This is in comparison with philosophies that hold that reform or less extensive changes would be enough to produce a just political regime. This course focuses on philosophies that argue that such a radical change is necessary and can take a variety of foci to address that topic such as a contemporary, historical, or comparative philosophies. Some possible philosophies might include anarchism, socialism, pragmatism,, critical theory, and others.
