Opis

Including brilliant writings from a distinguished group of historians and political scientists, this book makes an original contribution to the history of democracy in modern Europe. It examines the history of liberalism, anti-Semitism, and democracy; the strengths and weaknesses of political liberalism; its complex historical relationship with anti-Semitism in Germany and Austria; and the development of democratic political cultures in Europe since the Second World War is explored.

Recenzje

Stern's discussion of 'subtle silence' and the consequences this can have for the both liberalism and democracy is both well-argued and intellectually stimulating. He eloquently and persuasively guides the reader through the intrinsic difficulties a society has in understanding 'self', demonstrating that throughout the 20th century Germans, more so than most, remained silent at crucial times when finding their collective voice was called for.
