Description

Visionary Pragmatism: A New Approach to Radical Change Romand Coles presents an innovative framework for transforming our world in response to the challenges posed by neoliberal capitalism. Drawing on insights from political theory, neuroscience research, complex systems theory, and his own action research, Coles outlines a vision for "visionary pragmatism" - a mode of scholarship and practice that seeks to co-opt existing power structures to create new possibilities. At its core, visionary pragmatism is about harnessing the potential of grassroots politics, pedagogy, and institutional transformation to drive positive change. By exploring the interconnections between these fields, Coles offers a powerful theory for revolutionary cooptation - one that selectively employs existing practices and strategies to alter the coordinates of power and possibility. This book provides a timely and thought-provoking exploration of how we can work together to create a more just and sustainable world. With its unique blend of theoretical rigor and practical insight, Visionary Pragmatism is an essential read for anyone looking to understand the challenges facing our world today and to find new ways of addressing them.
