- catalog abstract ""A Political Life is the compelling autobiography of Norberto Bobbio, one of the foremost political thinkers in postwar Italy. Bobbio guides us through some of the most significant events of the twentieth century, charting their influence on his life and work." "Born in 1909, Norberto Bobbio's early life was marked by the experience of growing up in Mussolini's Italy - an experience that helped to shape his passionate commitment to the anti-fascist cause. As a result of these early experiences, Bobbio has tirelessly emphasized the fundamental, unassailable importance of democratic rights in the modern state. He has been a voice of reason and moderation in a poltical context where democratic values have often been threatened by extremes." "This autobiography traces the development of Bobbio's political thought, providing a penetrating analysis of the changing political landscape of Italy. At the same time, it represents an intimate account of Bobbio's personal experiences, giving a rare insight into the life and work of this distinguished thinker." "A Political Life will be of great interest to students and scholars of social and political theory and of Italian politics, as well as to a general readership interested in political biography and contemporary politics."--Jacket.".
