Introduction
Dialogues with Political Theorists
We are pleased to introduce ‘Dialogues with Political Theorists’, an ongoing series of interview articles in which leading contemporary theorists discuss the development of their thinking and the figures who have influenced their work.
In this engaging interview with Mark Wenman, the renowned political theorist William Connolly discusses many of the concerns that have shaped his long and distinguished career, including: his understanding of political pluralism, his relation to Nietzsche, Foucault and Deleuze, his theory of ‘immanent naturalism’, and his recent work on contemporary capitalism.

In the second in CPT’s series of ‘Dialogues with Political Theorists’, Gary Browning interviews Bonnie Honig and discusses the development of her career and current thinking, including the contemporary thinkers who have influenced her work such as Jacques Derrida and Hannah Arendt, Honig’s valorization of politics and her critique of forms of virtue politics.
