A philosophical critique of liberal doctrine

Originally published in 1975, Knowledge & Politics examines classical liberal doctrine through the work of philosopher and politician Roberto Mangabeira Unger. The book centers on his argument that a tradition developed by European social theorists in the mid-seventeenth century remains deeply influential in contemporary thought, while also proving philosophically untenable. Positioned within political philosophy, it offers a sustained challenge to inherited liberal ideas and the assumptions that have shaped modern political thinking.
