Totalitarianism and Political Religion - An Intellectual History (Hardcover): A. Gregor Totalitarianism and Political Religion - An Intellectual History (Hardcover)
A. Gregor
R1,792 Discovery Miles 17 920 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The totalitarian systems that arose in the twentieth century presented themselves as secular. Yet, as A. James Gregor argues in this book, they themselves functioned as religions. He presents an intellectual history of the rise of these political religions, tracing a set of ideas that include belief that a certain text contains impeccable truths; notions of infallible, charismatic leadership; and the promise of human redemption through strict obedience, selfless sacrifice, total dedication, and unremitting labor.
Gregor provides unique insight into the variants of Marxism, Fascism, and National Socialism that dominated our immediate past. He explores the seeds of totalitarianism as secular faith in the nineteenth-century ideologies of Ludwig Feuerbach, Moses Hess, Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, Giuseppe Mazzini, and Richard Wagner. He follows the growth of those seeds as the twentieth century became host to Leninism and Stalinism, Italian Fascism, and German National Socialism--each a totalitarian institution and a political religion.

untersuchen, was wir uns unter dem Begriff der "Anlage" zur Epilepsie v- zustellen haben. . Unter der Anlage zu einem Merkmal versteht man gewohnlich die Gesamtheit der zu diesem Merkmal fuhrenden Genwirkungen. Nun aber konnen wir vor laufig unseren peripheren klinischen Symptomenkomplex der Epilepsie durchaus nicht mit den ihm - angenommenermassen - zugrunde liegenden Genwirkungen zur Deckung bringen. Der epileptische Anfall ist ja, wie wir wissen, nur ein Symptom und ist als solches etwa vergleichbar dem Symptom des Comas oder der Glykosurie. Wir konnen den Vergleich weiterfuhren: wir wissen, dass diesen Symptomen eine Storung des Blutzuckerspiegels ursachlich vorgelagert ist. Die Hyperglykamie ist die Folge einer Unfahigkeit des Organismus, den Zucker abzubauen, weil ihm das diesen Abbau regelnde Hormon, das Insulin, mangelt. Dieser Mangel des Inselhormons hinwieder wird verursacht durch eine Funktions storung des hormonalen Apparates im Pankreas, der LANGERHANssehen Inseln, welche das Hormon produzieren. Wenn wir nun weiter fragen, was wiederum diese Funktionsstorung bewirkt, so konnen wir nun, wenn wir von den durch Arteriosklerose usw. bedingten Storungen absehen, auf diese Frage keine Antwort mehr geben. Wir konnen aber vermuten, dass wir nun nicht mehr weit von der gesuchten unmittelbaren Genwirkung entfernt sind."

Gender in Amazonia and Melanesia - An Exploration of the Comparative Method (Paperback): Thomas A. Gregor, Donald F Tuzin Gender in Amazonia and Melanesia - An Exploration of the Comparative Method (Paperback)

One of the great riddles of cultural history is the remarkable parallel that exists between the peoples of Amazonia and those of Melanesia. Although the two regions are separated by half a world in distance and at least 40,000 years of history, their cultures nonetheless reveal striking similarities in the areas of sex and gender. In both Amazonia and Melanesia, male-female differences infuse social organization and self-conception. They are the core of religion, symbolism, and cosmology, and they permeate ideas about body imagery, procreation, growth, men's cults, and rituals of initiation.
The contributors to this innovative volume illuminate the various ways in which sex and gender are elaborated, obsessed over, and internalized, shaping subjective experiences common to entire cultural regions, and beyond. Through comparison of the life ways of Melanesia and Amazonia the authors expand the study of gender, as well as the comparative method in anthropology, in new and rewarding directions.

Faces of Janus - Marxism and Fascism in the Twentieth Century (Paperback): James A. Gregor Faces of Janus - Marxism and Fascism in the Twentieth Century (Paperback)
James A. Gregor
R1,104 Discovery Miles 11 040 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Attempting to understand the catalogue of horrors that has characterised much of twentieth-century history, Western scholars generally distinguish between violent revolutions of the "right" and the "left". Fascist regimes are assigned to the evil right, Marxist-Leninist regimes to the benign left. But this distinction has left us without a coherent understanding of the revolutionary history of the twentieth century, contends A. James Gregor in this insightful book. He traces the evolution of Marxist theory from the 1920s through the 1990s and argues that the ideology of Marxism-Leninism devolved into fascism. Fascist regimes and Communist regimes - both anti-democratic ideocracies - are far more closely related than has been recognised. Employing wide-ranging primary source materials in Italian, German, Russian, and Chinese, the book opens with an examination of the first standard Marxist interpretation of Mussolini's fascism in the early 1920s and proceeds through the emergence of fascist phenomena in post-Communist Russia. A clearer understanding of the relation between fascism and communism provides a sharper lens through which to view twentieth-century history as well as the present and future politics of Russia, Communist China, and other non-democratic states, Gregor concludes.
