The Philosophy of Freedom from Rousseau to Heidegger launched a
great protest against modern liberal individualism, inspired by the
virtuous political community of the ancient Greeks. Hegel argued
that the progress of history was gradually bringing about greater
freedom and restoring our lost sense of community. But his
successors Marx, Nietzsche and Heidegger rejected Hegel's version
of the end of history with its legitimization of the bourgeois
nation-state. They sought to replace it with ever more utopian,
apocalyptic and illiberal visions of the future: Marx's Socialism,
Nietzsche's Overman, and Heidegger's commitment to Nazism. This
book combines an exceptionally clear and rich study of these
thinkers with a deep dive into the extent to which their views fed
the political catastrophes of revolution, tyranny and genocide,
including the Jacobins, Bolsheviks, Nazis, Khmer Rouge, ISIS and
populist nationalism, but argues that the Philosophy of Freedom
remains indispensable for understanding today's world.
