Yet his status within the history of liberal thought has been more often proclaimed than explained. Though he is frequently lauded as the inheritor of France's liberal tradition, Aron's formative influences were mostly non-French and often radically anti-liberal thinkers. This book explains how, why, and with what consequences he belatedly defined and aligned himself with a French liberal tradition. It also situates Aron within the larger histories of Cold War liberalism and decolonization, re-evaluating his contribution to debates over totalitarianism, the end of ideology, and the Algerian War. By exposing the enduring importance of Aron's student political engagements for the development of his thought, Iain Stewart challenges the prevailing view of Aron's early intellectual trajectory as a journey from naiÌve socialist idealism to mature liberal realism, offering a new critical perspective on one of the twentieth century's most influential intellectuals"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Aron, Raymond, $d 1905-1983. 650 0 $a Political science $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Liberalism $z France $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a France $x Intellectual life $y 20th century. 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 776 08 $i Online version: $a Stewart, Iain, 1979- $t Raymond Aron and liberal thought in the twentieth century. $d New York : Cambridge University Press, 2019. $z 9781108695879 $w (DLC) 2019035786 830 0 $a Ideas in context; $v 124. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200806023152.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5FA17990BC2911EAAC3CDF0297128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
