This illuminating analysis by one of the world's leading intellectuals addresses fundamental questions about the new world disorder exemplified by the war on terrorism, the Iraq conflict and its aftermath and the current state of transatlantic relations. In eight concise chapters, Todorov discusses the use of force versus diplomacy, the emergence of new powers and the reactions of different players such as the UK, France, Poland and the United...

Both a political history and a moral critique of the twentieth century, this is a personal and impassioned book from one of Europe's most outstanding intellectuals. Identifying totalitarianism as the major innovation of the twentieth century, Tzvetan Todorov examines the struggle between this system and democracy and its effects on human life and consciousness. Totalitarianism managed to impose itself because, more than any other political sys...

We are all confronted, at one time or another, with choices as to what sort of life we will lead". So Tzvetan Todorov begins Frail Happiness, a provocative meditation on the thought and writings of Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Todorov turned to Rousseau, he tells us, because he no longer found the professional language of scholarship an effective means for addressing such issues and because he found in Rousseau a seemingly immediate language that co...

We are all confronted, at one time or another, with choices as to what sort of life we will lead." So Tzvetan Todorov begins Frail Happiness, an important interpretation of Rousseau, one suffused with Todorov's own moral seriousness and intellectual depth. While ranging widely through Rousseau's corpus with skill and scholarly authority, Todorov returns, again and again, to the fragile yet persistent hope for human happiness.

The political history of the twentieth century can be viewed as the history of democracy's struggle against its external enemies: fascism and communism. This struggle ended with the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet regime. Some people think that democracy now faces new enemies: Islamic fundamentalism, religious extremism and international terrorism and that this is the struggle that will define our times. Todorov disagree...

Subito dopo la rivoluzione francese, le idee dell'illuminismo si diffondono in Europa. A portarle in Spagna non sono però i libri dei filosofi ma l'esercito di Napoleone, che occupa il paese tra il 1808 e il 1813, imponendo un regime repressivo e spietato. L'evidente contraddizione fra gli ideali di fraternità e armonia del pensiero dei lumi e la brutalità e il caos della guerra di conquista turba e confonde le migliori coscienze del continent...

Avevo condotto una vita da passatore in più di un modo dopo aver attraversato io stesso le frontiere, ho cercato di facilitarne il passaggio ad altri. Prima, frontiere tra paesi, lingue, culture, poi, tra ambiti di studio e disciplinari nel campo delle scienze umane. Ma anche frontiere tra il banale e l'essenziale, tra il quotidiano e il sublime, tra la vita materiale e la vita spirituale". E questo inquieto passare, che ignora l'acquiescenza ...

Als grundlegendes Merkmal der menschlichen Existenz bezeichnet Tzvetan Todorov das unaufhebbare Angewiesensein des Subjekts auf Anerkennung durch andere. Alle Weltanschauungen bedürfen eines Anderen, auch solche, die scheinbar auf absolute Autonomie und Souveränität begründet sind - nicht einmal die bis ans Äußerste gedachten Entwürfe von Sade und Bataille kommen ohne ihn aus. Im vorliegenden Buch wird eine Brücke zwischen Philosophie, Litera...
