In this book - which was a tremendous success in Italy - Norberto Bobbio challenges these views, arguing that the fundamental political distinction between Left and Right, which has shaped the two centuries since the French Revolution, has continuing relevance today. Bobbio explores the grounds of this elusive distinction and argues that Left and Right are ultimately divided by different attitudes to equality. He carefully defines the nature of equality and inequality in relative rather than absolute terms. Left and Right is a timely and persuasively argued account of the basic parameters of political action and debate in the modern world - parameters which have remained constant despite the pace of social change. The book will be widely read and, as in Italy, it will have an impact far beyond the academic domain.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Law & PoliticsSubtitle: The Significance of a Political DistinctionAuthor: Norberto BobbioBook Series: Themes for the 21st CenturyRelease Year: 1996 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
