Reviews

Roberto Mangabeira Unger's project is breathtaking ... He is writing what may be the most powerful social theory of the second half of the century. - Geoffrey Hawthorn A philosophical mind out of the Third World turning the tables, to become synoptist and seer of the First. - Perry Anderson [Unger] does not make moves in any game we know how to play... [His] book may someday make possible a new national romance ... [I]t will help the literate citizens of some country to see vistas where before they saw only dangers ... see a hitherto undreamt-of national future. -- Richard Rorty
