The Legitimization of the Radical Tradition in France, 1789-1901.
Gough, Hugh
International Journal of Social Education, v3 n1 p9-20 Spr 1988
Traces the development of radicalism from the 1789 French Revolution to the present. States that radical philosophy has its roots in rationalism and Enlightenment thought and was linked to positivism during the nineteenth century. Despite the failings of radicalism and the Radical Party, the radical tradition set precedents for current political parties. (GEA)
