William E. Connolly (Project Director: January 1973 to present)

A program of study and research focusing on those many points where philosophical analysis and political reflection intersect. Will attend graduate seminars in philosophy at Harvard and Brandeis while working on a book to be entitled The Structure od Political Discourse. Will attempt to clarify central concepts of political analysis and show how these concepts can enhance one's ability to understand and critically appraise political life.
