Description
Tony Judt is among the most interesting global thinkers of the last half-century. Few have thought so deeply and inspiratively about questions of democracy, totalitarian regimes, the Holocaust, or the historical role of public intellectuals. In a conversation with his friend and colleague Timothy Snyder, he maps the history of modern political ideas and concepts of governance and justice as understood by liberal, socialist, communist, nationalist, and fascist intellectuals from the late 19th to the early 21st century. He reflects on the responsibilities of intellectuals in politics as well as their moral failures. The book brings to life the life of historian Tony Judt while also being a fascinating dialogue about the search for truth and the possibilities of social renewal.
