About this book

Open Access

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.

Reviews

"[T]he volume constitutes a substantial and reliable addition to Broch scholarship, both for those interested in theories of human rights and democracies and those interested in other facets of the novelist’s works." Richard Tres Lambert (Gettysburg College) in: Journal of Austrian Studies 57/3-4 (2024)
