АЛТЕРНАТИВНИ ИНТЕЛЕКТУАЛНИ ПУТ Е. П. ТОМПСОНА
Alternative intellectual tradition of E. P. Thompson

Summary/Abstract: This essay presents the work of Edward Palmer Thompson, British historian whose involvement with history is inseparable from his study of literature (of romantic poets above all) which records fragmented personal stories of the oppressed (Blake would say ‘minute Particulars’) that official history of the winners ignores, silences and excludes from active participation in the challenges we face today. At the moment when the so called New World Order is trying to impose itself as an option without alternatives, Thompson’s deep involvement with the history of ideas is hugely important. His concern with traditions that are alternative to the dominant discourse of the world order currently in power, keeps these traditions alive and makes it possible for them to re-enter the battle of ideas that will shape the twentyfirst century. That is the reason why his studies of history and culture deserves to be presented to our public, and better known.
