Revolutions for the Future – May '68 and the Prague Spring

Revolutions for the Future revisits 1968 - not as a closed chapter, but as an unfinished revolution whose questions still resonate today. Focusing on the dual sites of May ’68 in France and the Prague Spring in Czechoslovakia, this volume brings together leading French and Central European philosophers to explore the enduring political and philosophical legacy of the last European revolutions. With essays by Jacques Rancière, Étienne Balibar, Alain Badiou, and others, it challenges the notion that 1989 marked the end of ideology, suggesting instead that the path to the future may lie buried in the forgotten possibilities of the past.
