  Abstract:  Printed in 2003 at the Central European University’s publishing house, The Dilemmas of Dissidence can be received as an instrumental contribution to the study of the way intellectual oppositionist o the regimes of “real socialism” thought theirs status and actions within such peculiar predicaments. The research focuses upon the situation intellectuals had to face in three of the countries of the former Socialist Block, Poland, Czechoslovakia and Hungary. Yet the scope of this approach is more than a historical briefing and assessment, having as unavoidable end the depiction of three exceptional cases of bold heroism, each with its own development. The author endeavors as main methodological take on her material to take on seriously the oeuvre the dissident intellectuals hd produced, and to study it qua political theory (p.xvii).
