«La libertad a prueba» is the essay by Ralf Dahrendorf, published by Editorial Trotta in paperback (224 pages, in Spanish).
The book explores why some twentieth-century intellectuals resisted totalitarian seduction and what qualities allowed them to maintain the defence of liberty in adverse circumstances. Through figures such as Isaiah Berlin, Karl Popper, Raymond Aron and Norberto Bobbio, whom he proposes to call «erasmistas», it explores the sources of the liberal spirit and draws lessons for an ethics of liberty based on reason and commitment.
The book belongs to the publisher's collection «Estructuras y procesos. Ciencias sociales».
Recommended for readers interested in political philosophy, twentieth-century intellectual history and liberal thought.
