The Age of Ideologies: A History of Political Thought in the Twentieth Century (English and German Edition) - Softcover
Synopsis
The Age of Ideologies presents a lucid and penetrating insight into the fundamental twentieth-century conflict between totalitarianism and democracy. In an age of woldwide upheaval, many ideals -liberal, conservative, socialist, revolutionary - have been translated into political action and have often resulted in crisis and dictatorship. Far from this century being an age of the "end of ideologies", we have witnessed the need for and the susceptibility to political ideologies. In tracing the history of political thought in this century, Karl Dietrich Bracher, a noted German scholar, shows how the violent disruptions of war and crisis have worked to create this vulnerability to ideological thinking. Indeed, he shows how the heightened role of ideologies in recent years gives new relevance to questions posed at the turn of the century.
