William E. Connolly

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

William E. Connolly is the Krieger-Eisenhower Professor of Political Science at Johns Hopkins University. He is known for having applied conceptual analysis with a left-critical edge to social science concepts, and for introducing postmodern philosophy into political theory. He is also known for having published The Terms of Political Discourse, which is widely held to be one of the major works of political theory published in the 1970s. It was published in 1974 and is still in print.

He received his PhD from University of Michigan, and has taught at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He edited the journal Political Theory in the 1980s. He has been teaching at Hopkins since 1985.

With his colleague and interlocutor Richard E. Flathman, Connolly founded what is sometimes called "the Hopkins School" of political theory.
