This is the second of three volumes of posthumously collected writings of G. A. Cohen, who was one of the leading, and most progressive, figures in contemporary political philosophy. This volume brings together some of Cohen's most personal philosophical and nonphilosophical essays, many of them previously unpublished. Rich in first-person narration, insight, and humor, these pieces vividly demonstrate why Thomas Nagel described Cohen as a "wonderful raconteur".

French philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy joins Sam Tanenhaus, senior editor of The New York Times Book Review, to talk about his most recent book, Left In Dark Times. Levy argues for a new "left" based on universal values and ethical commitments. Topics include left-wing anti-Zionism, domestic anti-Americanism and the global effects of both.
