Political Theory and Liberation Theology: The Intersection of Unger and Gutiérrez

I came across this project quite by accident. One day while I was reading Roberto Unger's Knowledge and Politics, I was struck with certain parallels between his thoughts and those of several Latin American liberation theologians such as Gustavo Gutiérrez, Jon Sobrino, S.J., and Juan Luis Segun...

520 |a I came across this project quite by accident. One day while I was reading Roberto Unger's Knowledge and Politics, I was struck with certain parallels between his thoughts and those of several Latin American liberation theologians such as Gustavo Gutiérrez, Jon Sobrino, S.J., and Juan Luis Segundo, S.J. The more I thought about the parallels, the more I chided myself, "This cannot be; what could a Harvard law professor have in common with liberation theologians?" But the more I read and reflected, the more I saw connections upon which I hope to elaborate in this article.Other scholars have made connections between this Harvard law professor and several notable Roman Catholic priests who investigate and write about a theology which can liberate the millions of poor in Central and South America. Recently, for example, Paul Sigmund, a political science professor at Princeton, completed an investigation of liberation theology in which he identifies "a movement away from Marxist reductionism to communitarian participatory radicalism in the development of liberation theology over the last twenty years." In urging the cultivation of a dialogue between communitarian theologians and thinkers from liberal (and Christian democratic) political institutions, Sigmund suggests that this discussion might also include " ‘communitarian’ critics of Anglo-American liberalism, some of whose views resemble … liberationists." Sigmund includes Roberto Unger in this group since he, along with Alasdair Maclntyre and Michael Walzer, criticizes classical arid contemporary liberals for their absence of a shared conception of the good, their unrealistic view of the person, and their effort to derive ideas of community from an artificial contract that bears no relationship to actual experience.
