Revolutions for the Future offers a unique, comparative look at two pivotal moments of modern history: the French May ’68 and the Prague Spring. This collection of essays by leading French and Central European philosophers and historians critically re-examines the revolutionary ideas of the era, challenging the mainstream "end of history" narrative that followed 1989.
While the French section (featuring texts by Jacques Rancière and Étienne Balibar) analyzes the intellectual ferment of Paris, the Central European section revives the long-neglected legacy of Czechoslovak Marxist humanism, self-management, and workers' councils.
This book demonstrates that the unfinished revolutions of 1968 are not just past history, but an essential tool for understanding contemporary global crises and finding new paths forward.
Beautifully bound in terracotta cloth hardcover with foil stamping.
Richly illustrated with black-and-white graphics based on period posters, flyers, and photographs.
