Reviews
"His book is an appeal for social democracy which American intellectuals and the political elite have abandoned since the New Deal.... With great lucidity, Robin identifies many disturbing excesses in thought and travesties in deed, all of which are bound up in some way with fear." --MichaelKimmage, New York Times Book Review, "Fear is a central, but little investigated, concept in modern politicalthought. In a deft and well-written analysis of this crucial concept and itspolitical implications, Corey Robin not only gives us a masterful survey of itshistory but also, of its current abuse by the Bush administration. Passionate,erudite, and partisan, this book is an original contribution to our politicalvocabulary."--Seyla Benhabib, Eugene Meyer Professor of Political Science andPhilosophy, Yale University, "Brilliant.... What he does in Fear is show us, by carefully plotting theprogress of modern fear politics from the Enlightenment to present day, that weare as dependent on fear as a political vehicle, if not more so, as we are thecharades of left/right/middle factionalism."--National Post, "By means of an innovative rereading of four influential political theorists--Thomas Hobbes, Montesquieu, Alexis de Tocqueville and Hannah Arendt--Corey Robin offers a fascinating analysis of how we have formed many of our ideas about the role of fear in society."--New Statesman, "Given daily terror alerts and news reports of violence, Robin, professor of political science and contributor to New York Times Magazine, offers a sober analysis of fear's Janus-faced potential as a catalyst for economic progress and the raison d'etre of repressive regimes. A brilliantsynthesis of historical perspective and the critically revealing story of 'Fear, American Style,' the account explores the classics of political thought by Hobbes, Montesquieu and Tocqueville and the portrayal of evil by Arendt."--Publishers Weekly, "Liberalism, he insists, sends working men and women unprotected intobattle against the forces of privilege, a battle they are bound to lose.Defeating fear, US-style, requires a new politics that actively confronts powerrather than the current apologetic, ameliorative American liberalism. He may notbe right that only a strong state can protect its citizens from fear (which iswhat, with Hobbes, he ends up arguing), but he makes a strong case that the jobis too important to be left to the market."--Financial Times, "Fear is a central, but little investigated, concept in modern political thought.

Synopsis
For many commentators, September 11 inaugurated a new era of fear. But as Corey Robin shows in his unsettling tour of the Western imagination--the first intellectual history of its kind--fear has shaped our politics and culture since time immemorial. From the Garden of Eden to the Gulag Archipelago to today's headlines, Robin traces our growing fascination with political danger and disaster. As our faith in positive political principles recedes, he argues, we turn to fear as the justifying language of public life. We may not know the good, but we do know the bad. So we cling to fear, abandoning the quest for justice, equality, and freedom. But as fear becomes our intimate, we understand it less. In a startling reexamination of fear's greatest modern interpreters--Hobbes, Montesquieu, Tocqueville, and Arendt--Robin finds that writers since the eighteenth century have systematically obscured fear's political dimensions, diverting attention from the public and private authorities who sponsor and benefit from it. For fear, Robin insists, is an exemplary instrument of repression--in the public and private sector. Nowhere is this politically repressive fear--and its evasion--more evident than in contemporary America. In his final chapters, Robin accuses our leading scholars and critics of ignoring "Fear, American Style," which, as he shows, is the fruit of our most prized inheritances--the Constitution and the free market. With danger playing an increasing role in our daily lives and justifying a growing number of government policies, Robin's Fear offers a bracing, and necessary, antidote to our contemporary culture of fear., For many commentators, September 11 inaugurated a new era of fear. But as Corey Robin shows in his unsettling tour of the Western imagination, fear has shaped our politics and culture since time immemorial. From the Garden of Eden to today's headlines, Robin traces our growing fascination with political danger and disaster. As our faith in positive political principles recedes, he argues, we turn to fear as the justifying language of public life. We may not know the good, but we do know the bad. So we cling to fear, abandoning the quest for justice, equality, and freedom., For many commentators, September 11 inaugurated a new era of fear. As Corey Robin shows in his unsettling tour of the Western imagination, fear has shaped politics and culture since time immemorial--from the Garden of Eden to the Gulag Archipelago to today's headlines.
