Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Despite my admiration for his work I must still have considered him somehow to the right, for I remember mild surprise a little later when a young Polish philosopher, exiled for his participation in Solidarity, rushed across the Common Room in the London School of Economics to present Aron with his Solidarity lapel pin, saying in the most moving manner that he was revered in East Central Europe for having told the truth. [...]my intellectual development was massively reinforced by giving lectures for the British Council in Hungary in the early 1980s, thereby seeing a politically stratified society at work together with endless variations in strategies as to how to live within it. [...]it has been very common to find that states ban horizontal linkages in society so as to privilege their own official means of communication. The reply of Trajan to Pliny (when he was the governor of Bithynia-Pontus) in response to his query as to whether to allow local organisation of a fire brigade in Nicomedia is revealing: such organisation should not even be contemplated, the emperor insisted, for once gathered together minds would drift from fires to politics [Pliny 1969: letters 22-23].
