Left in Dark Times: A Stand Against the New Barbarism
Bernard-Henri Levy
In this unprecedented critique, Bernard-Henri Lévy revisits his political roots, scrutinizes the totalitarianisms of the past as well as those on the horizon, and argues powerfully for a new political and moral vision for our times. Are human rights Western or universal? Does anti-Semitism have a future, and, if so, what will it look like? And how is it that progressives themselves?those who in the past defended individual rights and fought fascism?have now become the breeding ground for new kinds of dangerous attitudes: an unthinking loathing of Israel; an obsessive anti-Americanism; an idea of ?tolerance? that, in its justification of Islamic fanaticism, for example, could become the ?cemetery of democracies?; and an indifference, masked by relativism, to the greatest human tragedies facing the world today?
At a time of ideological and political transition in America, Left in Dark Times articulates the threats we all face?in many cases without our even being aware of it?and offers a powerful new vision for progressives everywhere.
