The Anti Enlightenment Tradition by Zeev Sternhell
The Politics of Reaction
This book delves into the intellectual movement that opposed the Enlightenment's ideals of reason, progress, and universalism, tracing its roots from the late 18th century through to the 20th century. It explores how this counter-Enlightenment tradition, with its emphasis on emotion, tradition, and community, has influenced various political ideologies, including nationalism and fascism. Through a detailed analysis of key thinkers and their works, the book reveals how these ideas have persisted and evolved, challenging the dominant narratives of modernity and shaping the cultural and political landscapes of Europe.
