内容説明

Discussing the role of intellectuals in the political transition of the late 1980s and early 1990s and their participation in the political life of the new democracies of Central Europe, this text presents essays from authors who discuss the eight countries in the region. In the introduction, the editor gives a historical overview of the tradition of the political involvement of intellectuals in these countries, especially in the nineteenth century. The chapters which follow describe the typical political and social attitude of Central European intellectuals, including writers, poets, artists, and scientists. The book deals not only with the role of intellectuals in the preparation of the peaceful revolutions in the individual countries, but also analyzes their role in the transition and their behaviour in the emerging democracies. The most striking phenomenon to come from this work, common to all countries studied, is the disillusionment of intellectuals and their disappointment in the years following the transition, a period when the role of prophet should be replaced by that of politician for those who have chosen to stay in politics.
