Radicalism and the Revolt Against Reason (Routledge Revivals)

Focusing on the transformative nature of radical thought during periods of unfulfilled expectations, this book examines the ideas of Georges Sorel and the socio-political climate of fin de siècle Europe, where socialist aspirations were overshadowed by liberal reforms. The golden anniversary edition features a significant new introduction by the author, highlighting the enduring influence of the work on contemporary political and social theory.
