About this product

Product Information

The French revolts of May 1968, the largest general strike in twentieth-century Europe, were among the most famous and colourful episodes of the twentieth century. Julian Bourg argues that during the subsequent decade the revolts led to a remarkable paradigm shift in French thought - the concern for revolution in the 1960s was transformed into a fascination with ethics. Challenging the prevalent view that the 1960s did not have any lasting effect, From Revolution to Ethics demonstrates that intellectuals and activists turned to ethics as the touchstone for understanding interpersonal, institutional, and political dilemmas. In absorbing and scrupulously researched detail Bourg explores the developing ethical fascination as it emerged among student Maoists courting terrorism, anti-psychiatric celebrations of madness, feminists mobilizing against rape, and pundits and philosophers championing human rights. Based on newly accessible archival sources and over fifty interviews with men and women who participated in the events of the era, From Revolution to Ethics provides a compelling picture of how May 1968 helped make ethics a compass for navigating contemporary global experience.

Reviews
"This is a terrific book. No study of May 1968 - and they are legion - matches From Revolution to Ethics in combining impeccable historical research and scholarly judiciousness with an incessant underlying passion for the ethical project, complexly understood."

The merchandise was in good condition. The packaging was thorough. Don't send me email stating a delivery date if said emails mean nothing. Simply amending the delivery date every time an item doesn't show when it's supposed to approaches unethical.

Other than not being the 510-page book I remember as a child, the purchase is very well-liked. I received it quickly, the price was perfect, and the book arrived in excellent packaging and condition. A very good buy. I'd do it again if I ever need to come back.
