Softcover/Paperback. Condition: Fine. Collectors copy - unread - like new This book offers an original interpretation of the achievement of Leo Strauss stressing how his ideas and followers reshaped the American conservative movement. According to this study Strauss and his disciples came to influence the establishment Right almost by accident. The conservative movement that reached out to Strauss and his legacy was extremely fluid and lacked a self-confident leadership. Conservative activists and journalists felt a desperate need for academic acceptability which they thought Strauss and his disciples would furnish. They also became deeply concerned with the problem of 'value relativism' which self-described conservatives thought Strauss had effectively addressed. But until recently neither Strauss nor his disciples have considered themselves to be 'conservatives.' Strauss's followers continue to view themselves as stalwart Truman-Kennedy Democrats and liberal internationalists. Contrary to another misconception Straussians have never wished to convert Americans to ancient political ideals and practices except in a very selective rhetorical fashion. Strauss and his disciples have been avid champions of American modernity and 'timeless' values as interpreted by Strauss and his followers often look starkly contemporary. | Pages: 194.…

Softcover/Paperback. Condition: Fine. A central crucible in the evolution of the American Right has been 'the purge'-that is the expulsion often in an explicit fashion of views or individuals deemed outside the bounds of 'respectability.' Victims include the John Birch Society Peter Brimelow John Derbyshire Sam Francis Revilo P. Oliver Murray Rothbard foreign-policy makers deemed 'isolationists' immigration reformers and many others. This essay collection is an attempt to better understand conservative ideology often euphemized as 'timeless principles' and how it functioned within its historic context and responded to power shifting conceptions of authority and societal changes. Through the purges we can glimpse what conservatism is not those aspects of itself it has attempted to deny mask leave behind and forget and the ways in which memories can be reconstructed around new orthodoxies. Contributors include Peter Brimelow Lee Congdon John Derbyshire Samuel T. Francis Paul Gottfried James Kalb Keith Preston William Regnery and Richard Spencer. | Pages: 230.…

Paperback. Condition: New. What does it mean to label someone a fascist? Today, it is equated with denouncing him or her as a Nazi. But as intellectual historian Paul E. Gottfried writes in this provocative yet even-handed study, the term's meaning has evolved over the years. Gottfried examines the semantic twists and turns the term has endured since the 1930s and traces the word's polemical function within the context of present ideological struggles. Like "conservatism," "liberalism," and other words whose meanings have changed with time, "fascism" has been used arbitrarily over the years and now stands for a host of iniquities that progressives, multiculturalists, and libertarians oppose, even if they offer no single, coherent account of the historic evil they condemn. Certain factors have contributed to the term's imprecise usage, Gottfried writes, including the equation of all fascisms with Nazism and Hitler, as well as the rise of a post-Marxist left that expresses predominantly cultural opposition to bourgeois society and its Christian and/or national components. Those who stand in the way of social change are dismissed as "fascist," he contends, an epithet that is no longer associated with state corporatism and other features of fascism that were once essential but are now widely ignored. Gottfried outlines the specific historical meaning of the term and argues that it should not be used indiscriminately to describe those who hold unpopular opinions. His important study will appeal to political scientists, intellectual historians, and general readers interested in politics and history.…
