Logos Reader Rational Radicalism And the Future of Politics

The online journal Logos was launched in response to the atmosphere of triumphant conservatism that pervades American political culture in the twenty-first century. The mission of Logos is to promote "rational radicalism," grounded in critical social theory and fully engaged with the most vital issues of our time. The articles in The Logos Reader, compiled by Stephen Eric Bronner and Michael J. Thompson, critically examine globalization, the Iraq War, and the plight of the Palestinians, while also illuminating domestic concerns that dominate American discourse. Negotiating the vast terrain of current social problems, the contributors are united in their intent to question and ultimately constrain the excessive power wielded by dominant cultural, political, and economic institutions. The Logos Reader stakes out firm ideological ground and challenges authoritarian forces, clarifying the notion of rational radicalism as a liberating counterpoint to limiting worldviews and systems of oppression.
