Description
The Rebel (1951) is a philosophical classic that examines the promise and dangers of rebellion in modern society. Explaining the metaphysical roots of rebellion and analyzing the impact of historical revolutions from 18th century France to 20th century Russia, it exposes how noble ideals can transform into tyrannical systems – and why rebellion is still a vital and necessary part of the human experience.
