Although the Egyptian Revolution still has to substantiate its success,
it deviated as did already the revolutions in 1989 from widely accepted scholarly assumptions namely that revolutions are violent, depend on charismatic leaders, need a unifying ideology and tend to be threatened by regressive masses (f.e. Arendt) just to name a few. A new type of non-violent revolution has emerged, challenging so far accepted theories of radical social and political change which seem to be incapable of analyzing the new phenomena appropriately.This lecture develops the origin and genesis of concepts on revolution in history as well as it challenges their main hypothesis. It aims at developing instruments for the analysis of contemporary features of revolutions.
