Ever since the shocking revelations of the fascist ties of Martin
Heidegger and Paul de Man, postmodernism has been haunted by the
specter of a compromised past. In this intellectual genealogy of
the postmodern spirit, Richard Wolin shows that postmodernism's
infatuation with fascism has been extensive and widespread. He
questions postmodernism's claim to have inherited the mantle of the
Left, suggesting instead that it has long been enamored with the
opposite end of the political spectrum. Wolin reveals how, during
in the 1930s, C. G. Jung, Hans-Georg Gadamer, Georges Bataille, and
Maurice Blanchot were seduced by fascism's promise of political
regeneration and how this misapprehension affected the intellectual
core of their work. The result is a compelling and unsettling
reinterpretation of the history of modern thought. In a new
preface, Wolin revisits this illiberal intellectual lineage in
light of the contemporary resurgence of political authoritarianism.
