The Life of Vaclav Havel: Saint from the End of History

“...no one of my generation will ever forget those powerful scenes from Wenceslas Square two decades ago. Havel led the Czech people out of tyranny. And he helped bring freedom and democracy to our entire continent.”
David Cameron 2011


“There is no real evidence that Western democracy, that is, democracy of the traditional parliamentary type, can offer solutions that are any more profound. It may even be said that the more room there is in the Western democracies (compared to our world) for the genuine aims of life, the better the crisis is hidden from people and the more deeply do they become immersed in it.”
Vaclav Havel 1978
“...you [Foucault] were the first to teach us a fundamental lesson… the indignity of speaking for others”
Deleuze on Foucault
