Description
Western philosophy's dark path: from Enlightenment to fascism Georg Lukács's groundbreaking critique explores how certain strands of philosophy contributed to the rise of National Socialism. Spanning post-Hegelian thought, he examines key figures such as Arthur Schopenhauer, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Martin Heidegger. Through an unsparing analysis, Lukács reveals that nearly all major philosophers of this period played a role in laying the groundwork for fascist ideology. Originally published in 1952, The Destruction of Reason has been overlooked despite its significance within Western Marxism. This new edition features a historical introduction by Enzo Traverso, shedding light on the current resurgence of far-right movements worldwide. This book provides a thought-provoking examination of the intellectual currents that shaped modern history.
