Who was Bernard Crick?

Sir Bernard Rowland Crick was a British political theorist and democratic socialist whose views can be summarised as 'politics is ethics done in public'. He sought to arrive at a 'politics of action', as opposed to a 'politics of thought' or of ideology, and he held that "political power is power in the subjunctive mood." He was a leading critic of behaviouralism.
