The essays in this collection, spanning 1925 to 1970, confirm Aurel
Kolnai's place as one of the great conservative theorists of the
twentieth century. Kolnai carefully analyzes the leading
intellectual positions and thinkers of his day, the dominant social
movements, and the prevailing moral influencesaEURO*psychoanalysis,
fascism, and National Socialism. He documents how they run counter
to the architecture of civilization. Kolnai is relatively unknown
outside philosophical circles, but Politics, Values, and National
Socialism provides an overview of his moral philosophy. In most
moral philosophy books one finds pages devoted to the major
theories of ethics. This volume is different. It seeks to address
the larger moral question of what kind of thought works against
morality, and by implication, how one can defend morality. Eager to
protect "the surviving islands of Liberal Civilization," Kolnai's
concern is really one of theory. He shows that much of what passes
for moral theory is subversive of moral order. All who think that
totalitarianism is a permanent threat, and who suspect that ideas
can quickly be dangerously distorted in times of social unrest,
will find plenty of clarifying ideas in this volume.
