Synopsis
Western democracies are "open societies" in which neither the state nor religion try to achieve a monopoly of power or the exclusive claim on people's hearts. In between the state and the family are countless other institutions from Trade Unions to stamp collecting clubs, from student organisations to churches and protest movements. This is the civil society. Before the fall of communism in 1989 all this was prescribed. The state controlled everything and in the Middle East this remains the case. In eastern Europe there is a burgeoning civil society but in fundamentalist Islamic society there is none. This book examines the part played by the civil society in a post-communist world. Examining Islam in its unique fundamentalism, the book asks what we can learn by a comparison between such a society and one in which civil society is often overwhelming.

Condition: Fair. : En 'Conditions of Liberty: Civil Society and Its Rivals', Ernest Gellner ofrece un análisis provocador de las fuerzas políticas que transforman la Europa del Este postcomunista. El autor examina la idea de la sociedad civil, arraigada en la creencia de la Ilustración de que la sociedad puede organizarse racionalmente, para comprender qué está llenando el vacío dejado por la caída del comunismo en la ex Unión Soviética y Europa del Este. Este libro innovador es una lectura esencial para entender el panorama político actual.
