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","brand":"Verso Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45847793139863,"sku":"9781786633378","price":1001.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781786633378.webp?v=1769297106","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/virtue-and-terror-9781786633378","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
