Produktbeschreibung
Historian and Press author Francois Furet (1927-1997), labeled by Tony Judt as one of the most influential men in contemporary France, was author or coauthor of seminal books on the French Revolution, coeditor of the Press s Tocqueville translations, and author of three books published in translation by Chicago, the last being The Passing of an Illusion: The Idea of Communism in the Twentieth Century. In The Passing of an Illusion, Furet explored the consequences and aftermath of the Communist revolution, resulting in a penetrating history of the ideological passions that have fueled and characterized the modern era. Several months after the publication of The Passing in French, the historian engaged in a conversation with philosopher Paul Ricoeur around the themes of that book. Hope and Despair is that conversation, lightly edited and emended by Furet before his death. Furet paints a fresco of the major political movements of the twentieth century. He covers an extraordinarily broad range of subjects: the nations of Europe, the very different trajectories of Anglo-Saxon, German, Italian and French political thought and currents. He offers a vigorous defense of the role of the historian. This is a dialogue with his critics, but also with himself and the major figures that have played a fundamental role in our understanding of the tragic playing-out of the tensions inherent in egalitarian, liberal democracy in the twentieth century: Tocqueville, Arendt, Nolte, De Felice. It is perfect for both the Furet novice as well as the seasoned connoisseur interested in some of Furet s last thoughts on this topic."
