Description
The Authoritarian Personality by Theodor Adorno;Else Frenkel-Brenswik;Daniel J. Levinson;R. Nevitt Sanford A seminal work in social psychology, this study explores the psychological characteristics that underpin authoritarianism and fascism. Written in response to the rise of Hitler's Germany, it remains a timely and thought-provoking analysis of the far right and its appeal. First published in 1950, this influential book has been updated with an introduction by Peter E. Gordon and includes previously unpublished critical notes from Adorno himself. The result is a work that continues to resonate with contemporary debates about right-wing populism and the resurgence of fascist ideologies. This new edition provides valuable insights into the development of Adorno's thought and the enduring relevance of his ideas in today's world.
