Andre Glucksmann

Andre Glucksmann -- an interesting find during my Dostoevsky studies. Here is a site dedicated to the French philosopher. It contains a lot of his writings, 1/4 of it is in English.

From America and Democracy:
Human rights measure our ability to resist the inhuman, the evil that faces us like a devil and that each of us carries within him.
Also these interviews:
