It has an 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's introduction analyzes these contradictions with a prodigious breadth of analogy and reference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maximilien Robespierre\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 178663337X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781786633378\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/14\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Maximilien Robespierre","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44522572939519,"sku":"9781786633378","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b40ea54b-93e2-4e59-ab61-db12334cd1f3.jpg?v=1700157960","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/virtue-and-terror-maximilien-robespierre-9781786633378","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
