This book provides a critical account of the main controversies involving Norman Geras, one of the key modern political thinkers. It moves from his youthful Trotskyism on to his book on Rosa Luxemburg, then his classic account of Marx and human nature, and his highly regarded discussion of Marx and justice. Following this, Geras tried to elaborate a Marxist theory of justice, which involved taking on-board aspects of liberalism. Next he attacked the post modernism of Laclau and Mouffe and criticised Rorty’s pragmatism, and then elaborated a contract of mutual indifference from a detailed study of the Holocaust. Lastly he wrote a book on human rights and humanitarian intervention, defending the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Cowling varies from exposition and admiration, to ideas about how Geras’s work should be interpreted, to criticism of his Trotskyism and of his support for the invasion of Iraq. The book will appeal to readers interested in Norman Geras and Marxism in particular, and social and political theory in general.

The present Human is at every step caught into a dramatic crossroads of difficulties, of distressing, of uncertainties, regarding its social status, moral stamp and ethical behavior... The primary duty of Media, seen in our Philosophical Systems as Mediology, is to underline the truth of facts, of their realities and of their rationalities, as the basic triad encircling the freedom and dignity in human...By putting the seal of truth on every mediological information, the essence of realities and rationalities on every word of it, is alike our right and duty, as the inseparable faces of the same coin, of the same sensing in morality and common sense of every form of media, in printing, in audio in visual in cyber-space-time or internetology in motion and emotion...
