I'm a political scientist, I feel that I should be doing history to take off where he left. that's how much i love his work.

What a lesson of optimism and courage under the most difficult circumstances! Very glad to have seen this--hitherto I've only read books and articles by Prof. Judt, this video would probably not be his choice for a first "Live" impression, but the vigour and clarity of his writing is very much present in character: "le style, ç'est l'homme!".

Beautiful film... not a blockbuster, though... I ask myself, why not? Is philosophy really such a frightening shadow of ourselves? Have we really become so afraid of changing our view, that we simply give in to the intellectual equivalent of a drive-thru at a fast food joint? And if so, have we always been this way?... I am glad to know of Tony Judt and his work. My condolences go out to his family, his friends, and all the others who miss him.

Tony, we miss you! Deep condolences to his family for losing this most human and inspiring of professors.

P.S. Back in 1982 I walked into a small course "Introduction to Marxism" by a visiting professor from England. There were only 8 or 9 of us. It changed my life. I was lucky he accepted to be my tutor for a semester of directed readings. He inspired me to do what I have done since: work to help improve society and help those less fortunate than me.

@Candidulus Thanks for the suggestion, the Charlie Rose interview is much more substantive than this piece. But I think you get a better sense of the man, as he lived most of his life, by watching the Rose interviews directly preceding his physical decline. A great mind.

@theprankster100 If all Jewish intellectuals had the character of Tony Judt, Noam Chomsky and Norm Finkelstein, antisemitism would disappear forever from the global politic.

[Candidulus]

Everyone should see his last interview with Charlie Rose. It's the only time I've ever seen Charlie tear up. A wonderful man and a brilliant writer, Tony Judt, you are dearly missed
