Facing a legacy of inequality as well as the turbulent times of a pandemic, the United States faces infinite political and social issues today, some new and some old. A lack of strong, unifying leadership paired with a media that convolutes and censors truth makes it difficult for many Americans to understand these issues of today. Thinkers in Modern Day aims to provide perspectives from those who have laid and shaped the field of political theory as well as the U.S. as a country into what they are today. MLK, Socrates, Edmund Burke, Niccolo Machiavelli and various other thinkers have been plucked from their time periods to offer their political theorist perspectives on the issues of modern day through this blog. See the "Home" page to read the posts from these thinkers and ponder the political theory existent in today's modern discussions.
