Inventaires du communisme (inventories of communism) • François Furet Text established and presented by Christophe Prochasson.
In January 1995, François Furet published Le Passé d’une illusion, a momentous essay on the idea of communism in the 20th century. Taking stock of the collapse of communism in Central and Eastern Europe and the sharp decline of the communist parties and their ideological influence in the rest of Europe, Furet paints a broad panorama whose focal point is a comparative study of fascism, Nazism and communism. A few months after the book's release, a publisher arranged a meeting between the philosopher Paul Ricoeur and the historian François Furet. The latter's archives have preserved this record of the two men's conversation.
