Radicalism and the Revolt Against Reason (Routledge Revivals): The Social Theories of Georges Sorel with a Translation of his Essay on the Decomposition of Marxism

Radicalism and the Revolt Aginst Reason is a work that continues to have a steady and large scale impact on political and social theory fifty years since its first appearance. A study of how radical thought modifies its actions and ideologies in a time of unrealized and frustrated expectations, the focus is on Georges Sorel and the Europe of the fin de siecle, a time when socialist revolution was forcefully set aside by liberal reform. This golden anniversary edition includes a substantial brand new introduction by the author.
