Against Democracy and Equality

Fülszöveg

Against Democracy and Equality was the first book ever published
in the English language on the European New Right, and it remains
an indispensable introduction to a school of thought which remains a
vibrant force in the understanding of European politics. Dr. Sunic
examines the principal themes which have concerned the thinkers of
the New Right since its inception by Alain de Benoist in 1968, such
as the problematic nature of the label 'New Right7 for a school
which sees itself as being beyond traditional concepts of both the left
and the right; its revolutionary political philosophy; its conception of
history in terms of cycl es; its attitude toward democracy, capitalism
and socialism; and its endorsement of 'pagan7 spirituality. He also
discusses the significance of some of the older authors who have
been particularly influential on the development of the movement,
such as Oswald Spengler, Carl Schmitt and Vilfredo Pareto.
This new edition of Against Democracy and Equa lity has been
completely re-edited, and offers new prefaces by both Dr. Sunic and
the principal theorist of the European New Right, Alain de Benoist.
Also included for the first time is the Manifesto for a European
Renaissance, which highlights the positions of the New Right as it
enters a new millennium.
