Roberto Mangabeira Unger

Roberto Mangabeira Unger is a Brazilian philosopher and politician whose work sits in the tradition of Western philosophy and classical social theory, developed across legal theory, philosophy and religion, social and political theory, progressive alternatives, and economics. In natural philosophy he is known for The Singular Universe and the Reality of Time, and in social theory for Politics: A Work in Constructive Social Theory. In legal theory he was associated with the Critical Legal Studies movement, which helped disrupt the methodological consensus in American law schools. His political activity aided the transition to democracy in Brazil after its military regime, and he served as Minister of Strategic Affairs for Brazil in 2007 and again in 2015.
