Fanaticism is usually seen as a deviant or extreme variant of an already irrational set of religious beliefs. Alberto Toscano’s compelling counter-history explores the critical role fanaticism played in forming modern politics and the liberal state, and undermines the idea that liberalism and fanaticism are irrevocably opposed. Alberto Toscano debates this ideas with Robert Eaglestone.<\/p>\n
