In recent times, we again find them the subject of debate in academia while parallel conflicts have arisen throughout the world which appear to instantiate the intellectual debate. The dichotomy has historically resisted resolution. The present thesis presents two views that I believe attempt to resolve the contradictions of community, individual, and world. The two views are those of Josiah Royce and Charles Taylor.

Although I find Taylor's account to be inadequate, I argue that Royce's notion of community places us on the right footing towards an attempt to escape the dualism of individual and community.

Until now historians have paid more attention to the similarities between these two regimes than to their differences. Stalinism and Nazism explores the difficult relationship between the history and memory of the traumas inflicted by Nazi and Soviet occupation in several Eastern European countries in the twentieth century. The first part of the volume explores the origins, nature, and organization of Hitler's and Stalin's dictatorial power, the manipulation of violence by the state systems, and the comparative power of the dictator's personal will and the encompassing totalitarian system. The second part examines the legacies of the Nazi and Stalinist regimes in Eastern European countries that experienced both. Stalinism and Nazism features the latest criti...
