English Radicalism and the Annihilation of the ‘Progressive Dilemma’ |
|
| Authors: | Tristram Hunt Alan Lockey |
| Abstract: | The rise of political nationalism in the early twenty‐first century threatens to subsume the ‘progressive dilemma’ as identified by David Marquand. The labourist tradition is collapsing culturally, the liberal tradition intellectually. In the face of a new politics of nativism across Europe and America, the labour movement needs to put the debate over the progressive dilemma behind it and find a new source of philosophical inspiration in the English radical tradition. |
