Abstract
Abstract This essay assesses the reasons for the so far minimal reception of Pierre Rosanvallon’s writings in the English-speaking world. Some of the factors suggested include his resistance to a liberal triumphalism that framed the Anglo-American presentation of the larger body of thought to which he contributed and his focus on hexagonal French history, especially in the nineteenth century. The essay closes with a comparison of the reception of his approach with that of Thomas Piketty’s recent bestseller on a similar topic. Keywords: Pierre Rosanvallon, Claude Lefort, Mark Lilla, liberalism, democracy ----- Bibliographie: Moyn, Samuel: Coals to Newcastle? On the Anglo-American Reception of Pierre Rosanvallon, ZPTh, 1-2016, S. 7-16. https://doi.org/10.3224/zpth.v7i1.03
