Lecture | The Common Interest in an Age of Economic Division: The Radical Challenge of Republican Political Thought


As economic divisions in contemporary society continue to grow, what are the political, social, and cultural consequences? What kind of response can we articulate to stave off the expansion of oligarchic power, especially in the United States? In this talk, Michael J. Thompson will argue that American liberalism has taken us off course and is unable to sustain a genuine critique of the modern social order. He will propose an alternative view of social, economic, and political life and institutions drawn from the tradition of radical republicanism: a principle of political thought drawn from thinkers such as Machiavelli, Milton, Rousseau, Hegel, and Marx.
