Trotz seiner bedeutenden Beiträge zur Philosophischen Anthropologie und Sozialphilosophie ist das Denken Helmuth Plessners noch immer nicht ausgeschöpft. Dabei bieten seine Überlegungen zur exzentrischen Positionalität, zu Macht und menschlicher Natur, zu Ethik und Politik außerordentlich produktive Anschlüsse an heutige Debatten. Sie zeigen sich sowohl in Bezug auf ein gesellschaftskritisches Denken als auch im Blick auf »den Menschen« nach seinem viel beschworenen Ende. Gerade vor dem Hintergrund der Diskussionen um die Lebenswissenschaften und die neueren Biotechnologien sind seine Konzepte hochaktuell. Die Beiträge von G. Gamm, J. Fischer, G. Lindemann u.a. unternehmen den Versuch, Plessners Denken für die Philosophie, aber auch für die Sozial- und Kulturwissenschaften fruchtbar zu machen. »Der Wert [dieses] Bandes belegt [...], dass es eine ›Debatte‹ [um Plessner phiosophischer Anthropologie] in Gestalt vieler und unterschiedlicher Äußerungen gibt [und legt] mit der präzisen Formulierung ihrer zentralen systematischen Fragen und den grundsätzlichen Differenzen der Antwortvorschläge zugleich die aktuelle Reichweite und die Notwendigkeit dieser ›Debatte‹ als produktivem Streitgespräch [offen].« Jan Müller, www.literaturkritik.de, 07.10.2005

Why did some of the "best and brightest" of Weimar intellectuals advocate totalitarian solutions to the problems of liberal democratic, capitalist society? How did their "radical conservatism" contribute to the rise of National Socialism? What roles did they play in the Third Reich? How did their experience of totalitarianism lead them to recast their social and political thought? This biography of Hans Freyer, a prominent German sociologist and political ideologist, is a case study of intellectuals and a "god that failed"--not on the political left, but on the right, where its significance has been overlooked. The author explores the interaction of political ideology and academic social science in democratic and totalitarian regimes, the transformation of German conservatism by the experience of National Socialism, and the ways in which tension between former collaborators and former opponents of National Socialism continued to mold West German intellectual life in the postwar decades.
