Art of Peacemaking

Political theorist István Bibó served as minister of state for the Hungarian national government. Iván Zoltán Dénes, an historian of ideas, is the founder of the István Bibó Center for Advanced Studies of Humanities and Social Sciences in Budapest, Hungary. Péter Pásztor is a freelance translator and editor.

“Bibó belonged to the group of “master thinkers” whose works were obligatory reading for those of us who were debating the nature of East European cultures, nationalism and the role of an intellectual in a totalitarian or authoritarian society. This edition will be the one to make Bibó’s distinctive voice heard and appreciated by English-language readers.”—Irena Grudzinska Gross, Princeton University
