Three Faces Of Fascism
''Fascism in Its Epoch'' (), also known in English as ''The Three Faces of Fascism'', is a 1963 book by historian and philosopher Ernst Nolte. It is widely regarded as his magnum opus and a seminal work on the history of fascism. Synopsis The book, which was translated into English in 1965 as ''Three Faces of Fascism'', argues that fascism arose as a form of resistance to and a reaction against modernity. Nolte's basic hypothesis and methodology were deeply rooted in the German "philosophy of history" tradition, a form of intellectual history which seeks to discover the "metapolitical dimension" of history. The "metapolitical dimension" is considered to be the history of grand ideas functioning as profound spiritual powers, which infuse all levels of society with their force. In Nolte's opinion, only those with training in philosophy can discover the "metapolitical dimension", and those who use normal historical methods miss this dimension of time. Using the methods of phenomen ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
