Published in 1995, François Furet's "Le Passé d'une illusion", devoted to the Communist ideal in the 20th century, marked the first approach to a total re-evaluation of the communist experience, after the fall of the Berlin wall, the collapse of the Soviet Union and of the world communist system. Fifteen years later, the fifteen authors of this book reconsider the historian of the French Revolution’s general interpretation. They investigate the importance of the French revolutionary model in the Bolshevik revolution, WW1’s matrix role in the emergence of the totalitarian phenomenon, the central pole of Stalinism in François Furet’s reflection and the parallelism between Nazism and Communism, referring to a text by the German historian Ernst Nolte whose correspondence with Furet treated this theme. The author also views François Furet’s work from the political philosophy angle, considering in turn Furet’s reading of Alexis de Tocqueville, Karl Marx and Raymond Aron, and striving to situate his thinking within ‘French Tocquevillism’. Finally, in the domain of political action and commentary, the authors explore what Pierre Hassner called François Furet’s "melancholic liberalism".
