Trade Review"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." Peter Starr, French and comparative literature, University of Southern California, author of Logics of Failed Revolt "In the valuable tradition of intellectual history, this book is a unique and fascinating analysis of difficult French thinkers and their movements." Michael Seidman, history, University of North Carolina, author of The Imaginary Revolution: Parisian Students and Workers in 1968 "An engrossing work, profound, thoughtful, and well written."
