Opis

This book, first published in 1984, contains the principal papers from a distinguished colloquium held in his honour in 1982. Its avowed purpose was to investigate further the notion of totalitarian democracy that Talmon brought to the fore in his influential first book The Origins of Totalitarian Democracy (1951), and to look at its repercussions in the contemporary world.
