    Radical Analysis aims to spelunk the questions that confront us, both as individuals and as a society.  It is a forum for conversations that move beneath the surface to excavate the roots of those challenges.  It is animated by that spirit of the Radical articulated so elegantly by Paulo Freire:
    The radical, committed to human liberation, does not become the prisoner of a "circle of certainty" within which reality is also imprisoned.  On the contrary, the more radical a person is, the more fully he or she enters into reality so that, knowing it better, he or she can better transform it.  This individual is not afraid to confront, to listen, to see the world unveiled.   This person is not afraid to meet the people or to enter into dialogue with them. This person does not consider himself or herself the proprietor of history or of all people, or the liberator of the oppressed; but he or she does commit himself or herself, within history, to fight at their side...

    This edition features a probing discussion with Luke Austin Daugherty about dispensationalism, a hermeneutic and theological orientation maintained by many conservative evangelicals. We examine the implications of the perspective for how it construes history, ramifies for social engagement, and hint at its connection to other problematic 'interpretations' that have been employed to rationalize various injustices.

    This week's episode features a conversation of Alyssa Rohrict of the blog Black Cat Revolution ( http://theblackcatrevolution.wordpress.com/).  We discuss the relationship between the views of nature engendered by capitalism, and our disposition and treatment of animals. From this point of departure, the interchange procedes along various other directions, such as the hazards of nuclear weaponry through to the challenges of engaging people to participate in the creation of a better world.

    In this episode, political economist and artist Rob Urie discusses the limits of conventional economic theory by way of an excavation of its latent presuppositions.  Beginning from a consideration of what is concealed rather than revealed by common metrics such as the GDP or unemployment rate, the conversation unfolds to a reflection on the historical and philosophical background of capitalism, even through Descartes back to the ancient tensions between Plato and Aristotle.  It concludes with a consideration of alternatives, and an anticipation of Rob Urie's forthcoming book from Counter Punch, Zen Economics.

    This week's episode assembles a motley of reflections upon student debt, debt in general, and their relationship to class structuring.  We additionally read from Counterpunch.org contributor David Green's "The Economic and Political Context of Student Debt - Failing to Invest in Eductation", itself published on Counterpunch on 4 December 2013.  It is an abbreviated episode.

    This week's show turns to Andre Gorz, and the analysis of how economic or commodifying reason corrosively reduces even the most intimate of human relationships to instrumental terms, turning attention especially to the notion of remunerating house or domestic work, a notion which, while seemingly benign at first blush, carries within it potentially damaging implications.
