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 takes a helter-skelter route through these contradictions, marshaling all the breadth of analogy for which he is famous.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Verso","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45413274648727,"sku":"9781844675845","price":1975.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781844675845.webp?v=1767444638","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/virtue-and-terror-9781844675845","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
