Europe and the WorldWorld War I as Crisis of UniversalismEdited by Kai Evers and David Pan
Paperback • $26.95 ISBN 978-0-914386-69-8
Series: Telos Investigations
Now available from Telos PressSave 20% at telospress.com with coupon code BOOKS20
With contributions by Étienne Balibar, Annette Becker, Russell Berman, Jörn Leonhard, among many others, Europe and the World: World War I as Crisis of Universalism focuses within Europe on the conflicts between nationalism and cosmopolitanism as a universalist political project and globally on the conflicts between European imperial politics and universal ideals. This collection of essays probes how these conflicts defined the war as the transition point to a new structure of global relations and postcolonial understandings of cultural identity.
Praise for Europe and the World“This fascinating selection of essays sheds new light on the great caesura that was the First World War. Above all, the essays here remind us that the war was authentically global in its reach and unsparing in its impact on civilian populations.”—Niall Ferguson, Milbank Family Senior Fellow of the Hoover Institution,
Stanford University, and author of The Pity of War and The War of the World
“Europe and the World opens up an important interdisciplinary conversation about the centrality of World War I to the global transformations that it unleashed and that have created the outlines of our world”—Susan Grayzel, author of Women and the First World War
After the Welfare State: Reconceiving Mutual Aid
The 2020 Annual Telos-Paul Piccone Institute ConferenceFebruary 15–16, 2020 ◆ New York, NY
The collapse of the welfare state model in advanced post-industrial countries has prompted a search for new forms of solidarity. The contemporary interest in struc-tures of mutual aid relates to the fact that we are living in an era that is clearly looking for new models of human flourishing and social development. Not only must we deal with multiple and recurring crises, but there is a growing recognition that today’s nor-mative agenda has to be much more encompassing and holistic, including issues of gender equality, fair trade, environment, and cultural and religious diversity. Are fam-ily, nation, and religion the key categories that would embed mutual aid in broader affective, ethical, and metaphysical frameworks, or are there alternative possibilities that would establish new types of networks? This conference seeks to develop new concepts of mutual aid that are not predetermined by conceptions of biological, eco-nomic, or political certainties.

Democracy and Populism: The Telos Essaysby Alain de BenoistEdited and Introduced by Russell A. Berman and Timothy W. Luke
The crisis of democracy, the consequences of neoliberalism and globalization, the limits of sovereignty, and of course the rise of populism: few thinkers have given more sustained attention to these matters than the French author Alain de Benoist. Democracy and Populism collects de Benoist’s essays from the journal Telos, where many of his writings first appeared in English translation. Reading de Benoist in Telos provides access to a distinctive transatlantic intellectual dialogue and to an array of prescient insights into the current political condition on both continents.

Free Radicals: Agitators, Hippies, Urban Guerrillas, and Germany’s Youth Revolt of the 1960s and 1970sby Elliot NeamanWith a Foreword by Timothy W. Luke
Elliot Neaman’s Free Radicals presents a comprehensive panorama of the West German youth revolt in the 1960s, as well as its subsequent fragmentation and descent into terrorism in the 1970s. Neaman argues that the activists of the 1960s fundamentally misconstrued the nature of the young German republic, conflating it with earlier problematic German polities, and offered hazy world-shattering utopias to replace it based on artificial historical comparisons.
Mastering the Past: Contemporary Central and Eastern Europe and the Rise of Illiberalismby Ellen Hinsey
Over the last decade Ellen Hinsey has traveled across Central and Eastern Europe researching a critical shift in the European political landscape: the rise of illiberalism. Through a series of eyewitness reports, Mastering the Past offers an insider’s view of key political events, including the 2012 Russian elections, the Polish presidential plane crash in Smolensk, and Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s vision for a new Hungary. Hinsey explores the darkening hour of European politics with an incisive mind and an eye for detail, recording the urgent danger that illiberalism represents for the new century. $24.95 | Paperback
