Abstract

This book offers an original interpretation of the achievement of Leo Strauss, stressing how his ideas and followers reshaped the American conservative movement. The conservative movement that reached out to Strauss and his legacy was extremely fluid and lacked a self-confident leadership. Conservative activists and journalists felt a desperate need for academic acceptability, which they thought Strauss and his disciples would furnish. They also became deeply concerned with the problem of 'value relativism', which self-described conservatives thought Strauss had effectively addressed. But until recently, neither Strauss nor his disciples have considered themselves to be 'conservatives'. Contrary to another misconception, Straussians have never wished to convert Americans to ancient political ideals and practices, except in a very selective rhetorical fashion. Strauss and his disciples have been avid champions of American modernity, and 'timeless' values as interpreted by Strauss and his followers often look starkly contemporary.

Abstract

"Describes a twentieth-century transformation in European leftist and Marxist politics. European Marxism began as an economically focused workers' movement, then became the domain of those desiring cultural transformation of Western Europe. The transformation emphasizes Western European guilt and promotes multiculturalism, feminism, and acceptance of alternative lifestyles condemned by European cultures"--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

Paul Gottfried's critical engagement with political correctness is well known. The essays in Revisions and Dissents focus on a range of topics in European intellectual and political history, social theory, and the history of modern political movements. With subjects as varied as Robert Nisbet, Whig history, the European Union election of 2014, and Donald Trump, the essays are tied together by their strenuous confrontation with historians and journalists whose claims about the past no longer receive critical scrutiny. According to Gottfried, successful writers on historical topics take advantage of political orthodoxy and/or widespread ignorance to present questionable platitudes as self-evident historical judgments. New research ceases to be of importance in determining accepted interpretations. What remains decisive, Gottfried maintains, is whether the favored view fits the political and emotional needs of what he calls "verbalizing elites." In this highly politicized age, Gottfried argues, it is necessary to re-examine these prevalent interpretations of the past. He does so in this engaging volume, which will appeal to general readers interested in political and intellectual history.

Abstract

L'histoire de l'idéologie conservatrice américaine est retracée des années 1950 à nos jours. Incarné aujourd'hui dans les esprits par le Parti républicain, le courant conservateur balaie en réalité un spectre politique et social plus large. Opposés par exemple au New Deal de Roosevelt, les conservateurs se réclamaient notamment de l'héritage de Jefferson.

Abstract

"This book deals with the continuing appeal of antifascism as a political concept and as a tool for fighting a real or imagined fascist enemy. Antifascism has undergone significant changes in how it has understood and combatted a perceived fascist danger from the 1920s down to the present"--
