'What definition would I use for "radical"? "To be radical is to go to the root, and the root is man," [humanity] as Karl Marx wrote in his early work. (Quoting from memory.) "Radical" is from "radix," the root, as I am sure you know. By "radical" I mean going deep down, below the obvious surface, and seeing the most basic forces at work. And by "radical" I mean making the most extreme, drastic, changes in how we look at things and what we do in action.'
from 'a learned friend' (hope he don't mind).
