Bernard-Henri Lévy
Bernard-Henri Lévy (born
November 5,
1948) is a contemporary French philosopher. He is a leftist, but was repelled by the
Cambodian disaster of
Pol Pot and has concluded that such
totalitarian evils result from excessive efforts to realize a "good world". He so characterizes
radical Islamism.
He is the author of around 30 books in French; some have been translated into English, most recently, Who Killed Daniel Pearl. He is fluent in English. His books in French are available on Amazon France.
