Summary

The radical rupture in civilization, the future and defense of democracy, the fight against totalitarianism and mass hysteria, the commitment to human rights, and the utopian potential of literature - these were the topics that occupied the mind of Jewish author, intellectual, and US émigré Hermann Broch (1886-1951). This volume investigates the topicality of his thought in the context of interdisciplinary peace and democracy research.
