Description
Left and Right: A Distinction with Continuing Relevance Today. The collapse of communism and the decline of Marxism have led some to claim that we have reached the 'end of history', and that the distinction between Left and Right can be forgotten. However, Norberto Bobbio challenges these views in this book, arguing that the fundamental political distinction between Left and Right remains relevant today. Bobbio explores the grounds of this elusive distinction, arguing that it is ultimately divided by different attitudes to equality. He carefully defines the nature of equality and inequality in relative rather than absolute terms, providing a nuanced account of the basic parameters of political action and debate in the modern world. This thought-provoking book offers a timely and persuasive examination of how these parameters have remained constant despite social change. A widely read and impactful work that extends beyond the academic domain, Left and Right is a valuable contribution to our understanding of politics and its relevance in contemporary society.
