He was a member of the French new philosophers. Glucksmann began his career as a Marxist, but went on to reject communism in the popular book La Cuisinière et le Mangeur d'Hommes (1975), and later became an outspoken critic of the Soviet Union and post-Soviet Russian foreign policy.
He was a strong supporter of human rights.
In recent years he opposed the claim that Islamic terrorism is the product of the clash of civilizations between Islam and the West.
