Jean Jaures was a towering intellectual and political leader of the democratic Left at the turn of the twentieth century, but he is little remembered today outside of France, and his contributions to political thought are little studied anywhere. In Jean Jaures: The Inner Life of Social Democracy, Geoffrey Kurtz introduces Jaures to an American audience. The parliamentary and philosophical leader of French socialism from the 1890s until his assassination in 1914, Jaures was the only major socialist leader of his generation who was educated as a political philosopher. As he championed the reformist method that would come to be called social democracy, he sought to understand the inner life of a political tradition that accepts its own imperfection. Jaures's call to sustain the tension between the ideal and the real resonates today. Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Jean Jaures (Geoffrey Kurtz)
