		Unger contends that liberalism's views in epistemology, psychology, and ethics can be reduced to a few basic principles which depend upon one another in a quasi-logical sense.
		Unger attempts to relate these difficulties in liberal thought to its misguided conception of the relationship between parts and wholes in knowledge and in society.
		Unger would have done better to simply say the object of his criticism was modern philosophy in its many guises, rather than reducing this wide range of opinion to one alleged school.

	Brazil's Unger: middle-class radicalism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Therefore, Unger's political gambit has centered on the political adventurer Gomes, who was Itamar Franco's finance minister- an assignment given him in 1994 in order to act as Cardoso's deputy, FHC having left the Finance Ministry in order to run as presidential candidate, as required by the law.
		That Unger has decided to support Gomes is only a case history of the long traditions of petty-bourgeois intellectuals in oligarchical societies that think they can change society single-handed; intriguing, but, IMHO not bound to have consequences of any note.
		Unger intends to play Plato to his younger Dionysius of Syracuse, and that will probably lead to the same achievement of his predecessors -most probably none...

	Modernist Social Theory: Roberto Unger's PASSION by James Boyle
		Unger must deal with both of these arguments simultaneously because their combined force has converted the genre in which he is writing--the speculative treatise on human nature--from the universal language for descriptions of the good life, into a literary curiosity, known best to intellectual historians and first-year philosophy students.
		Unger is simply more convincing when he concentrates on experience and on the politics of everyday life, rather than on the formal logical categories for producing truth.
		Unger takes these themes and subjects them to 'modernist criticism' in order to rid them of their one major defect: a tendency to give a naturalized picture of the world, in which the provisional and temporary arrangements of some social hierarchy are seen as reflective of a divine plan or human nature.

	Psychiatry as Scientific Humanism: J. Allan Hobson on Roberto Unger
		Unger's Program was brought to my attention in 1984 by my colleagues in the New Psychiatry Seminar, a quasi-revolutionary group of Young Turks that was wrestling with the same issues Unger had so skillfully pinioned.
		I show why I believe that Unger's theory, while substantially true and eloquently espoused, is not likely to be effective as a humanistic exhortation to professional psychologists, and why I believe it to be categorically inadequate as a scientific base for the study of behavior.
		Feeling as strongly as Unger does about the pressing need for reform, I conclude in part V with a Manifesto for a New Psychiatry, a call to arms should the proposed Agenda and Credo fail to be adopted.

	Some 'heresies' of development
		Roberto Mangabeira Unger, Professor of Law at Harvard University, is the acknowledged founder and a leading practitioner of the critical legal studies movement.
		Unger was for long considered a romantic, almost Utopian, thinker for his belief in a form of political action that could radically alter existing social institutions without the complications of mass upheaval.
		It was not just the case that Unger had descended from the rarefied world of philosophical abstraction to the practical details of political organisation.

		Unger shows how such an antideterministic approach can inspire surprising explanations of past and present institutions, with the result of broadening and refining the sense of the possible.
		Roberto Mangabeira Unger is the author of "The Critical Legal Studies Movement", "False Necessity: Antinecessitarian Social Theory in the Service of Radical Democracy" and "What Should Legal Analysis Become?".
		Unger shows that by regarding the society as an artifact and through a marriage of liberalism and Marxism, both of which have more in common than was previously thought, one can open up hitherto unexplored historcal possibilities of radical transformative practice.

	Thomas Moore \| Roberto Unger and The Politics of Deviance
		Unger’s enduring political project of democratic experimentalism demands a rethinking of the contexts and purpose of legal practice.
		Unger’s political economy of law aims to destabilise systems of legal thought by enabling legal subjects to apprehend their status as context-transcending agents.
		Whilst Unger demands a renegotiation of the contexts of law he is unable, due to its improvised nature, to foresee the terms of these renegotiations.

	Amazon.ca: Books: Progress: An Initiative for American Democracy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		In this thought-provoking collaboration, bestselling author and preeminent public intellectual Cornel West and internationally acclaimed social theorist Roberto Mangabeira Unger describe a nation suffering from an educational and health-care meltdown and an ever-growing gap between the rich and the poor.
		Unger and West offer a solution that promises to "mark a path rather than to define a blueprint." They want to return the United States to the deepest goal of democracy: to realize the greatest potential of all citizens.
		They blast the myth that the nation comprises three major social classes (upper, middle, and lower), and instead suggest that it is divided into four: the high-power professionals and big-business executives, the small-business class, the working class, which includes both blue- and white-collar workers, and the racially stigmatized underclass.

		Therefore, for a theoretical suggestion to have any power, the interpretive community to which it is addressed must already recognize its import through practices already in place--"[a] theoretical pronouncement is always an articulation of a shift that has in large part already occurred; it announces a rationale for practices already in force...." Id. at 155.
		Herein lies the crux of Fish's argument against the advancement of a self-critical program for institutional development--and, as is often the case, he chooses Roberto Unger as his worthy adversary.
		Though admiring the sweep and power of Unger's project, Fish denies the self-transforming quality of the anti-foundationalist insight, and thus denies that through "the exercise of critical self- reflection" we can create continually less constraining institutional structures.

		In particular, he argues that in rich and poor countries alike, a more decentralized and inclusive relationship can be built between business and government, and that levels of civic engagement and group organization can be heightened and strengthened.
