Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Evolving views on revolutions shift from threats to catalysts for social progress, as explored through historical perspectives from Greek antiquity to Leninist Russia. Dan Edelstein examines how classical thinkers advocated for stability, fearing chaos, while Enlightenment philosophers redefined history as progressive, embracing revolution. The narrative highlights the complexities and divisions that arise during revolutionary movements, leading to violence against perceived counterrevolutionaries. This intellectual history prompts reflection on the balance between stability and the desire for change in contemporary society.
