He writes again in opposition, this time to post-communist elites and European Union bureaucrats. Composed of history, memoir, and political critique, In Search of Lost Meaning shines a spotlight on the changes in Poland and the Eastern Bloc in the post-1989 years. Michnik asks what mistakes were made and what we can learn from climactic events in Poland's past, in its literature, and the histories of Central and Eastern Europe. He calls attention to pivotal moments in which central figures like Lech Walesa and political movements like Solidarity came into being, how these movements attempted to uproot the past, and how subsequent events have ultimately challenged Poland's enduring ethical legacy of morality and liberalism. Reflecting on the most recent efforts to grapple with Poland's Jewish history and residual guilt, this profoundly important book throws light not only on recent events, but also on the thinking of one of their most important protagonists. 606 $aSocial ethics 606 $aSocial ethics$zPoland 606 $aSocial change$zEurope, Eastern 606 $aSocial change$zPoland 607 $aPoland$xPolitics and government$y1980-1989 607 $aEurope, Eastern$xPolitics and government$y1945-1989 607 $aEurope, Eastern$xPolitics and government$y1989- 607 $aEurope, Central$xPolitics and government$y1989- 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSocial ethics. 615 0$aSocial ethics 615 0$aSocial change 615 0$aSocial change 676 $a303.48/4094380904 700 $aMichnik$b Adam$0384693 701 $aGrudzin?ska-Gross$b Irena$01029609 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456879603321 996 $aIn search of lost meaning$92446131 997 $aUNINA
