Much of the debates in this book revolves around Milan Kundera and his 1984 essay “The Tragedy of Central Europe.” Kundera wrote his polemical text when the world was pregnant with imminent social and political change, yet that world was still far from realizing that we would enter the last decade of the twentieth century with the Soviet empire and its network of satellite states missing from the political mappages Kundera was challenged by Joseph Brodsky and György Konrád for allegedly excluding Russia from the symbolic space of Europe, something the great author deeply believes he never did. To what extent was Kundera right in assuming that, if to exist means to be present in the eyes of those we love, then Central Europe does not exist anymore, just as Western Europe as we knew it has stopped existing? What were the mental, cultural, and intellectual realities that lay beneath or behind his beautiful and graceful metaphors? Are we justified in rehabilitating political optimism at the beginning of the twenty-first century? Are we able to reconcile the divided memories of Eastern or Central Europe and Western Europe regarding what happened to the world in 1968? And where is Central Europe now?

Leonidas Donskis Essay ist eine Kritik von Ideologie und Utopie. Die grundlegende These lautet, dass beide immer schon notwendige Ergänzungen der historischen und kulturellen Einbildungskraft waren, so dass das Böse nicht der Ideologie oder Utopie per se entspringt, sondern dem Versuch, sie eins zu eins in die gesellschaftliche Realität zu übersetzen. Die Kritik des Ideologischen und Utopischen erarbeitet Donskis vor der Folie der im zwanzigsten Jahrhundert vorherrschenden Auffassungen von Moral und Kulturkritik - im Kontext von Zivilisationsanalyse und Bewusstseinsgeschichte und in einer erhe
