Admir Skodo

Våra öden förändrades 2015. Vi stod på gator, på tågstationer, i föreningslokaler och fanns där för våra medmänniskor. Vi kom från olika bakgrunder och politiska läger men förenades av en tro på ett bättre Sverige och på rätten att söka en fristad från förtryck, förföljelse och krig. Och det gör vi fortfarande. Den här antologin samlar olika sorters röster aktivister, flyktingar, jurister och forskare som genom personliga berättelser och analyser vill erbjuda ett försvar för medmänsklighet och solidaritet. Medverkande: Ulf Bjereld , Malin Björk, Noam Chomsky, Torun Elsrud, Gustav Fridolin, Sabine Gruber, KG Hammar, Agnes Hellström, Anders Hellström, Behrang Kianzad, Christina Höj Larsen, Vladan Lausevic, Mikael Mery Karlsson, Alen Musaefendic, Anna Lundberg, Patricia Lorenzoni, Micke Kinning, Navid Modiri, Stina Nilss, Hynek Pallas, Sanjin Pejkovic, Carlos Rojas, Gudrun Schyman, Admir Skodo, Kinna Skoglund, Sanna Vestin, John Washington, Julia Wiklander, Ali Zardadi, Linda ÅkerströmRedaktörer: Kamal El Salim och Maria Padrón Hernández

This book examines the legacy of philosophical idealism in twentieth century British historical and political thought. It demonstrates that the absolute idealism of the nineteenth century was radically transformed by R. G. Collingwood, Michael Oakeshott, and Benedetto Croce. These new idealists developed a new philosophy of history with an emphasis on the study of human agency, and historicist humanism. This study unearths the impact of the new idealism on the thought of a group of prominent revisionist historians in the welfare state period, focusing on E. H. Carr, Isaiah Berlin, G. R. Elton, Peter Laslett, and George Kitson Clark. It shows that these historians used the new idealism to restate the nature of history and to revise modern English history against the backdrop of the intellectual, social and political problems of the welfare state period, thus making new idealist revisionism a key tradition in early postwar historiography.
