"The words of a dead man are modified in the guts of the living"
In Memory of Ernest Gellner
Speaker Brendan O'Leary
(University of Pennsylvania)
A discussion of the book edited by Petr Skalnik
This edited volume examines the critical issues of the 21st century through the prism of Ernest Gellner's work. Chapters proactively probe Gellner's thoughts on a variety of pressing topics-modernity, postcolonialsm, nationalism, and more-without losing sight of current debates on these issues.
