Description

Book Synopsis
A philosophical reflection on the changes in Eastern Europe that began in 1989. It focuses on issues such as the role of ideology; "conversions" of intellectuals; the place of philosophers in politics; the relationship between democratic slogans and everyday realities; and women's concerns.

Trade Review
Philosopher-speak can easily become 'a language that the stranger does not know,' but McBride avoids the commonest pitfalls throughout the seven essays in this slim, accessible volume. -- Raymond Pearson, University of Ulster, Coleraine * Irish Slavonic Studies *
