Special radical classes of near-rings are defined and investigated. It is shown that our approach, which differs from previous ones, does cater for all the well-known radicals of near-rings. Moreover, most of the desirable properties from their ring theory counterpart are retained. The relationship between the special radical of a near-ring and the corresponding matrix near-ring is given.
