In the last decade the far-right, associated with white
nationalism, identitarian politics, and nativist ideologies, has
established itself as a major political force in the West, making
substantial electoral gains across Europe, the USA, and Latin
America, and coalescing with the populist movements of Trump,
Brexit, and Boris Johnson's 2019 election in the UK. This political
shift represents a major new political force in the West that has
rolled back the liberal internationalism that developed after WWI
and shaped world institutions, globalization, and neoliberalism. It
has also impacted upon the democracies of the West. Its historical
origins date from the rise of fascism in Italy, Germany, and
Austria from the 1920s. In broad philosophical terms, the movement
can be conceived as a reaction against the rationalism and
individualism of liberal democratic societies, and a political
revolt based on the philosophies of Nietzsche, Darwin, and Bergson
that purportedly embraced irrationalism, subjectivism, and
vitalism. This edited collection of essays by Michael A Peters and
Tina Besley, taken from the journal Educational Philosophy and
Theory, provides a philosophical discussion of the rise of the
far-right and uses it as a canvas to understand the return of
fascism, white supremacism, acts of terrorism, and related events,
including the refugee crisis, the rise of authoritarian populism,
the crisis of international education, and Trump's 'end of
globalism'.
