Blum, Larry et al. — Radical Philosophers' Newsjournal, Issues 1-4

Boston and Somerville, Massachusetts, The Radical Philosophers' Newsjournal, 1973. Softcover. Four issues, each with stapled paper wraps. Issues 1,2, and 3 have 56 pp. and issue 4 has 64 pp. Issue 1 has no illus. and the others have one or two bw images. The first issue was published in August 1973 as the result of a meeting of radical philosophers in Boston. The journal was meant to serve as a forum for discussion of common concerns, including academic philosophy, society in general, and the relation between radical philosophy and radical politics, among other things. Articles from the lot include The Firing of a Radical Unionist Philosopher; Radical Studies at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst; Philosophers and Trade Unions; Society, Class, and the Individual; Radical Philosophy in Britain and the US; Philosophy and Idealogy; Crisis in Philosophy: The Black Presence; Beyond Student Centered Teaching; Capitalism and Poverty; Philosophy in Yugoslavia; Radical Teaching; and more. All good, with varying degrees of wear: Issue 1 has recipient's address cut out of back cover and other (minor) cover wear; other issues have recipient's address on back cover and general cover wear. Text blocks mostly clean and tight with a bit of wear to page edges of Issue 4.
