| Beschreibung: | Includes bibliographical references and index Preface and acknowledgments -- Introduction: the club of the crooked circle -- Correspondence -- One. "La lutte continue" -- Two. The storehouse of power and unreason -- Index In Ira Katznelson's view, Americans are squandering a tremendous ethical and political opportunity to redefine and reorient the liberal tradition. In an opening essay and two remarkable letters addressed to Adam Michnik, who is arguably East Europe's emblematic democratic intellectual, Katznelson seeks to recover this possibility. By examining issues that once occupied Michnik's fellow dissidents in the Warsaw group known as the Crooked Circle, Katznelson brings a fresh realism to old ideals and posits a liberalism that "stares hard" at cruelty, suffering, coercion, and tyrannical abuses of state power. Like the members of Michnik's club, he recognizes that the circumference of liberalism's circle never runs smooth and that tolerance requires extremely difficult judgments Katznelson's first letter explores how the virtues of socialism, including its moral stand on social justice, can be related to liberalism while overcoming debilitating aspects of the socialist inheritance. The second asks whether liberalism can recognize, appreciate, and manage human difference. Situated in the lineage of efforts by Richard Hofstadter, C. Wright Mills, and Lionel Trilling to "thicken" liberalism, these letters also draw on personal experience in the radical politics of the 1960s and in the dissident culture of East and Central Europe in the years immediately preceding communism's demise |

Princeton University Press c1996 1 Online-Ressource (xx, 192 p.) txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Includes bibliographical references and index Preface and acknowledgments -- Introduction: the club of the crooked circle -- Correspondence -- One. "La lutte continue" -- Two. The storehouse of power and unreason -- Index In Ira Katznelson's view, Americans are squandering a tremendous ethical and political opportunity to redefine and reorient the liberal tradition. In an opening essay and two remarkable letters addressed to Adam Michnik, who is arguably East Europe's emblematic democratic intellectual, Katznelson seeks to recover this possibility. By examining issues that once occupied Michnik's fellow dissidents in the Warsaw group known as the Crooked Circle, Katznelson brings a fresh realism to old ideals and posits a liberalism that "stares hard" at cruelty, suffering, coercion, and tyrannical abuses of state power. Like the members of Michnik's club, he recognizes that the circumference of liberalism's circle never runs smooth and that tolerance requires extremely difficult judgments Katznelson's first letter explores how the virtues of socialism, including its moral stand on social justice, can be related to liberalism while overcoming debilitating aspects of the socialist inheritance. The second asks whether liberalism can recognize, appreciate, and manage human difference. Situated in the lineage of efforts by Richard Hofstadter, C. Wright Mills, and Lionel Trilling to "thicken" liberalism, these letters also draw on personal experience in the radical politics of the 1960s and in the dissident culture of East and Central Europe in the years immediately preceding communism's demise Michnik, Adam swd Michnik, Adam 1946- (DE-588)119238616 gnd rswk-swf Pluralism (Social sciences) POLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Ideologies / Conservatism & Liberalism bisacsh Links (politiek) gtt Liberalisme gtt Politieke verandering gtt Postcommunisme ram Libéralisme ram Socialisme ram Pluralisme (sciences sociales) ram Politischer Wandel swd Liberalismus swd Rezeption swd Sozialismus swd POLITICAL SCIENCE / History & Theory bisacsh Cultural pluralism fast Liberalism fast Post-communism fast Socialism fast Politischer Wandel gnd Liberalismus gnd Rezeption gnd Sozialismus gnd Sozialismus Liberalism Socialism Cultural pluralism Post-communism Liberalismus (DE-588)4035582-2 gnd rswk-swf Politischer Wandel (DE-588)4175047-0 gnd rswk-swf Rezeption (DE-588)4049716-1 gnd rswk-swf Sozialismus (DE-588)4055785-6 gnd rswk-swf Liberalismus (DE-588)4035582-2 s Sozialismus (DE-588)4055785-6 s Politischer Wandel (DE-588)4175047-0 s 1\p DE-604 Michnik, Adam 1946- (DE-588)119238616 p Rezeption (DE-588)4049716-1 s 2\p DE-604 Michnik, Adam 1946- Sonstige (DE-588)119238616 oth http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=360031 Aggregator Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
