In this concise introduction, Chad Kautzer demonstrates the shared emancipatory goals and methods of several radical philosophies, from Marxism and feminism to critical race and queer theory. Radical Philosophy examines the relations of theory and practice, knowledge and power, as well as the function of law in creating extralegal forms of domination. Through a critical engagement with the history of philosophy, Kautzer reconstructs important counter-traditions of historical, dialectical, and reflexive forms of critique relevant to contemporary social struggles. The result is an innovative, systematic guide to radical theory and critical resistance.

Radical Philosophy: An Introduction, by Chad Kautzer Review
"I recommend this book in three respects: as an introductory text for philosophy undergraduates; as an example of self-critique for continental philosophers; and as a window into what may be a different tradition altogether for sundry radical philosophers, as well as mainstream heirs of Thales."― Naomi Zack, Radical Philosophy Review
"Kautzer’s two-pronged thesis about the impetus for and basic purpose of radical philosophy is appealing, even energizing."― Sarah Drews Lucas, Contemporary Political Theory
"Turn the university upside down! Turn philosophy upside down. Think against the world of destruction and oppression and cultivate resistance. This book is a terrific place to start, just what we need."― John Holloway, Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla, Mexico, author of Change the World without Taking Power and Crack Capitalism
"Radical Philosophy: An Introduction constitutes a major scholarly contribution without rival. The analysis of domination through the lenses of race, class, gender, and sexuality in the context of a rich historical engagement is a hallmark of Kautzer’s scholarship. The book concludes with a novel conception of the function of whiteness in extra-legal structures of racism. The elegant style renders the book highly readable, which is an important benefit of a text that has much to offer scholars, students, and activists."― Cynthia Willett, Emory University, author of Interspecies Ethics and Irony in the Age of Empire
"Ever since Socrates, philosophy has been a dangerous endeavor, but it loses its critical edge if practiced only as an academic exercise. Chad Kautzer renews philosophy’s original stance by making a forceful case for an interventionist thinking informed by contemporary social struggles. This book is an indispensable tool for all who want not only to interpret the world but to change it."― Daniel Loick, Goethe Universität, Frankfurt am Main, author of The Critique of Sovereignty (Kritik der Souveränität)
"Although some may see in 'radical philosophy' an incongruous juxtaposition of terms, Kautzer demonstrates that philosophical practice need not be a detached and contemplative exercise... this accessible book is useful as an introduction to radical political philosophy. Summing Up: Recommended."― J. A. Gauthier, University of Portland, CHOICE Reviews

This is the rarest kind of philosophy book By Evan Moskowitz If you have any kind of background in philosophy or critical/social theory, you might be tempted to skip over a book with "introduction" in its title. I can't stress enough what a mistake that would be. Whatever your pre-existing grasp of the material might be, it will be stronger by the time you've finished this book-- probably by the time you've finished its introduction. "Radical" is one of those words that many of us, myself included, tend to throw around a lot without always thinking much about what it really means. In language that is at once clear and technically precise, Kautzer lays out a historically and theoretically grounded picture of radical philosophy whose central concern is *always* the question of practical, real-world implications. If you are interested or getting interested in contemporary social justice and don't have much of a philosophy background, this is a perfect place to start. There is technical language, but terms are used clearly, consistently, and responsibly, which makes it a great way to encounter new words and concepts that are important to know.This is the rarest kind of philosophy book: A philosophy book to recommend to friends and family.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. This is a great intro to Radical Philosophy By baimudan This is a great intro to Radical Philosophy; it's an updated philosophy textbook with great background on Marxism and class, feminism and queer theory as well as anti-racism and whiteness. The readings are thoughtful reflections for anyone who wants to understand oppression and how to work towards justice in our time. It's not too long, but it touches on so many rich topics that invite further reading. This is one of those books where the footnotes and bibliography are just as interesting as the text itself.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. If you believe that philosophy is not something "experts" do ... By Terese Howard If you believe that philosophy is not something "experts" do in an office, and that political action is not something that only happens when marching - than you must read this book. Otherwise put, if you want to look deeply at the struggles we fight (i.e. cops killing people of color, environmental destruction, mass homelessness and the criminalization of homelessness...), the structures, the history, and think as you fight...this is the book for you.
