The Disease Called Politics: Roszak's 1962 Essay Resurfaces
Original: The Disease called Politics (1962)
Theodore Roszak's 1962 essay "The Disease Called Politics" is drawing fresh attention online. Writing in the early 1960s, Roszak examined politics as a kind of pathology in public life, and readers are revisiting his argument as they debate the state of contemporary political discourse. Commenters are comparing his decades-old diagnosis with today's polarised climate.
Why now: The essay's critique of politics resonates with current concerns about polarisation and the health of political life.
