What is extremism?
Manage episode 434589483 series 2889048
In a famous 1963 letter, Martin Luther King Jr. argued that ‘extremism’ is not an inherently bad thing because it can be a way of describing radical action for the extension of justice. Professor Quassim Cassam FBA explores what we mean by extremism, what makes an ideology or course of action extremist, and whether King was right.
Speaker: Quassim Cassam FBA, professor of philosophy at the University of Warwick
