Theodore Roszak's 1962 Essay 'The Disease Called Politics' Resurfaces
Original: The Disease called Politics (1962)
A 1962 essay by Theodore Roszak titled 'The Disease Called Politics' is drawing fresh attention. The piece, hosted on the panarchy.org archive, examines politics as a kind of social pathology, arguing that political engagement can corrupt judgment much like an illness. Readers are sharing the text as a lens for thinking about today's polarised political climate, noting how prescient the critique feels more than sixty years after it was written.
Why now: The essay's critique of politics resonates with current frustration over polarisation and political dysfunction.
