Resisting Despair in Confrontational Times (English) (Paperback)

This is a book of dialogue in two voices. It is the result of a vibrant and vigorous exchange between two public intellectuals, friends for many years, from two different political, professional and cultural backgrounds. Though we did the conversations in English, our common world of culture and values is human culture. This reminds us of what Thomas Mann said not long after he arrived in New York from Nazi Germany: “Wo ich bin, ist deutsche Kultur” (“Where I am, is German culture”)
