Revolution in the 21st Century
This book seeks to provide access to current
concepts in social and political philosophy at a popular level and to
place ideas of political action in that context.
Consideration is given to those ideas that, it would seem from today's viewpoint, will stamp the character of the coming century. This includes concepts such as postmodernism and existentialism as well as ideas of sociobiology, chaos/complexity theory, cosmological physics and postmodern art.
The book contains many references suitable for further research and the hard-pressed student might find in it a convenient entry to the confusing (and often confused) world of socio-political academia.
"It is a thoroughly enjoyable book aimed at
students of politics and other potential activists. It is not the first
such book, but it is one of the best"
David Renton

"Jack Grassby has a wonderful sense of radical
history, but never stops thinking about the future. His writings are
now a feature of the debate."
David Miliband M.P.
former Head 10 Downing Street Policy Unit
