Why did some of the "best and brightest" of Weimar intellectuals
advocate totalitarian solutions to the problems of liberal
democratic, capitalist society? How did their "radical
conservatism" contribute to the rise of National Socialism? What
roles did they play in the Third Reich? How did their experience of
totalitarianism lead them to recast their social and political
thought? This biography of Hans Freyer, a prominent German
sociologist and political ideologist, is a case study of
intellectuals and a "god that failed"--not on the political left,
but on the right, where its significance has been overlooked. The
author explores the interaction of political ideology and academic
social science in democratic and totalitarian regimes, the
transformation of German conservatism by the experience of National
Socialism, and the ways in which tension between former
collaborators and former opponents of National Socialism continued
to mold West German intellectual life in the postwar decades.
