Recenzii

“Bibó belonged to the group of “master thinkers” whose works were obligatory reading for those of us who were debating the nature of East European cultures, nationalism and the role of an intellectual in a totalitarian or authoritarian society. This edition will be the one to make Bibó’s distinctive voice heard and appreciated by English-language readers.”—Irena Grudzinska Gross, Princeton University
 

 “István Bibó was the most important political thinker of twentieth-century Hungary.  His reflections on emotions in politics and on international conflict-resolution remain highly instructive.  This judiciously chosen selection of essays should finally introduce him to a large English-language readership.”—Jan-Werner Müller, author of Contesting Democracy: Political Ideas in Twentieth-Century Europe

“Reading these collections, it is Bibó’s strange, seemingly unwarranted faith in politics that most commands our attention.”—Holly Case, Dissent Magazine
