Написанная почти 70 лет назад научная работа "Консервативная революция в Германии" стала не только отправной точкой формирования типологии этого уникального явления, но дала старт не утихающей до сих пор дискуссии относительно путей развития современного консерватизма. Данное исследование является основополагающей работой - от него отталкиваются на протяжении десятилетий все современные исследователи. Работу сопровождает эссе Армина Молера "Фашизм как стиль", в котором проводятся четкие границы между многими политическими явлениями современной истории.
The Conservative Revolution in Germany, 1918-1932 is a book written by Armin Mohler, a Swiss political theorist and historian. The book is a study of the conservative revolution, a political movement that emerged in Germany in the aftermath of World War I and played a significant role in shaping the country's political landscape in the 1920s and 1930s. In The Conservative Revolution in Germany, Mohler traces the origins and development of the conservative revolution and examines the ideas and ideologies of its leading figures, including Oswald Spengler, Ernst Jünger, and Arthur Moeller van den Bruck. The book also explores the relationship between the conservative revolution and other political movements of the time, such as nationalism and socialism. The Conservative Revolution in Germany is considered a classic work of political history and is widely regarded as an important resource for understanding the political and cultural context of Germany in the interwar period.
There are two ways to review this book: as data and as science. As data, this is a very important book. Mohler thesis on the conservative revolution has had important uptake within the so-called new right. From this perspective, this is a must read!
If you judge it from the perspective of being a PHD, must better work has been published by Sternhell. Moreover, this edition is published by Radix (Richard Spencer) and is an English translation. It would deserve to compare the original edition with this one, as it seems popularized and some ideas and concepts feel strange
A fascinating though scattershot overview into the right wing intellectual milieu of pre-nazi Germany. Mohler covers a lot of ground but in a shallow manner. It's a handbook more than a detailed exposition.
The thinkers covered were obviously not Hitler since Hitler had many of them killed or imprisoned, but it's still quite clear their politics were very similar. Maybe it's unfair to paint them all over as "pre-nazis" but it's an unavoidable viewpoint after 1945.
The malleability of the right-left-dichotomy is on interesting display.
