Blum was a fin-de-siecle aesthete who became the spiritual and political leader of the French non-Communist Left in the first half of this century. Camus, best known to millions of readers worldwide for his novels The Stranger and The Plague, was a wartime Resistance figure who played a prominent part in post-1945 intellectual life in France before dying tragically young in a car crash in 1960. Aron, a contemporary of Jean-Paul Sartre in the brilliant intellectual generation of interwar France, was a political theorist, journalist, and critic of Communism who made a major contribution to the recent revival of liberal thought in contemporary France. In The Burden of Responsibility Tony Judt offers a distinctive and original reinterpretation of the writings and public role of these three men, arguing that they have much in common. Despite the great differences in their backgrounds, their interests, and their views, all three were men of integrity who took seriously their responsibility as public intellectuals. 600 10 Blum, Léon,|d1872-1950|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n50009578|xEthics.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh00005644 600 10 Camus, Albert,|d1913-1960|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n79061368|xEthics.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh00005644 600 10 Aron, Raymond,|d1905-1983|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n80126287|xEthics.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh00005644 600 17 Blum, Léon,|d1872-1950.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/2738 600 17 Camus, Albert,|d1913-1960.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/36855 600 17 Aron, Raymond,|d1905-1983.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/61552 648 7 20th century|2fast 650 0 Intellectuals|xPolitical activity|zFrance|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009127345|xHistory |y20th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2002006165 650 7 Intellectual life.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 975769 650 7 Ethics.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/915833 650 7 Intellectuals|xPolitical activity.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/975813 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 651 0 France|xIntellectual life|y20th century|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85051442|xPolitical aspects.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh00005651 651 7 France.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204289 856 41 |3Table of contents only|uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ uchi052/98022269.html 856 42 |3Publisher description|uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/ description/uchi051/98022269.html 856 42 |3Contributor biographical information|uhttp://www.loc.gov /catdir/enhancements/fy0642/98022269-b.html 901 MARCIVE 20231220 935 502806 948 |d20181012|cLTI|tlti-aup183 948 |d20171012|cLTI|tlti-aup173 948 |d20161019|clti|tlti-aup163 994 C0|bRID
