Böcker av K. Steven Vincent

This book advances a new interpretation of the timing and character of French (and more broadly European) liberalism, and contributes to the ongoing debate concerning the place of morality, sociability, and conceptions of the "self" in modern liberal thought.

In this densely contextualized biography, K. Steven Vincent describes how Elie Halevy (1870-1937), one of the most respected and influential intellectuals of the French Third Republic, confronted the Dreyfus Affair, World War I, and the rise of interwar totalitarianism while defending a distinctively French version of liberalism.

A study of the life and thought of Benoit Malon (1841-1893), a spokesman for reformist socialism during the early years of the French Third Republic. Vincent analyzes Malon's role as activist, editor and author, arguing that Malon drew on a strong tradition of left-wing French republicanism.
