«Occidente contra Occidente» is the political philosophy essay by André Glucksmann, published by Taurus in paperback (192 pages, in Spanish).
Glucksmann analyses the Iraq war and its impact on the international order: he does not believe the debate is between unipolarity and multipolarity, but between nihilism and civilisation. He criticises ideological discourses and those who speak for victims without listening to them, and defends a transatlantic alliance against Saddam Hussein's tyranny.
The book belongs to the Pensamiento collection and was published in paperback with flaps; the Spanish edition is translated from French.
For readers interested in political philosophy, international relations and the debate on the Iraq war.
André Glucksmann was a French philosopher, activist, and writer. He was a leading figure of the new philosophers. Glucksmann began his career as a Marxist, who went on to reject Marxism–Leninism and real socialism in the popular book La Cuisinière et le Mangeur d'Hommes (1975), and later became an anti-Communist and outspoken critic of the Soviet Union and post-Soviet Russian foreign policy. He was a strong supporter of human rights. In later years, he opposed the claim that Islamic terrorism is the product of the clash of civilizations between Islam and the Western world.
