About this book

Raymond Klibansky’s fascinating philosophical journey through the twentieth century.
Georges Leroux presents a series of dialogues with his mentor. A rich autobiographical portrait of a heroic figure in twentieth-century philosophy, the book explores themes, including philosophical traditions, melancholy, tolerance, peace, and the role of philosophy in international relations, that were central to Klibansky’s scholarship and life.

Reviews

"There is something exhilarating about reading conversations between two intelligent people, or rather, conversations in which one intelligent person leads and structures the intelligent thoughts of another. As is shown in these pages, Raymond Klibansky possessed a superb mind: keen, precise, always curious, constantly probing in unexpected corners of the universal library for connections between ancient wisdom and modern tribulations." From the foreword by Alberto Manguel
