Virtue and Terror : Verso : 9781844675845 : 184467584X : 29 Jan 2007 : Robespierre's defense of the French Revolution remains one of the most powerful and unnerving justifications for political violence ever written, and has extraordinary resonance in a world obsessed with terrorism and appalled by the language of its proponents. Yet today, the French Revolution is celebrated as the event which gave birth to a nation built on the principles of enlightenment. So how should a contemporary audience approach Robespierre's vindication of revolutionary terror? ?i?ek takes a helter-skelter route through these contradictions, marshaling all the breadth of analogy for which he is famous.
