Radicalisation is the process by which a group or an individual adopts an extreme political, social or religious set of ideals which reject or severely
undermine modern ideas and expressions of freedom of choice.
Alisdair MacIntyre, who is a fairly transparent inspiration for this
idea, suggested we retreat from
modern institutions into small monastery - like communities in order to rebuild the moral foundation of character — an integrated set of beliefs and morality — that modernity has
undermined.
