{"product_id":"virtue-and-terror-9781844675845","title":"Virtue and Terror","description":"Robespierre's defense of the French Revolution remains one of the most powerful and unnerving justifications for political violence ever written, and has extraordinary resonance in a world obsessed with terrorism and appalled by the language of its proponents. Yet today, the French Revolution is celebrated as the event which gave birth to a nation built on the principles of enlightenment. So how should a contemporary audience approach Robespierre's vindication of revolutionary terror? Žižek takes a helter-skelter route through these contradictions, marshaling all the breadth of analogy for which he is famous.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maximilien Robespierre\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/17\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Revolutions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.82h x 5.02w x 0.61d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781844675845","brand":"Verso","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47126775136393,"sku":"9781844675845","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_2892b18b-ecc6-43cc-a9f2-421da4c8429f.jpg?v=1782795701","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/virtue-and-terror-9781844675845","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
