Description:In the turbulent period between 1870 and 1930, the contours on modernity taking shape, especially the connections between technology, politics and aesthetics. The trilogy Order The Nihlist traces the genealogy of the nihilist-totalitarian syndrome.Georges Sorel (1847-1922) was the first political philosopher to develop a systematic theory of political myth, one that had profound impact on radical leaders and totalitarian movements of the twentieth century. While he was a highly respected early political sociologist, his writing transcended disciplinary boundaries in their creation of a modern political mythology. Believing that ideology was too abstract, general and ineffective to be instrumental in the political mobilization of the masses, he formulated the myth of the general strike. According to his theory of social psychology, people are socialized not by means of ideology, but through a common experience of action. This idea was adapted to great effect in the following years by revolutionary syndicalism, fascism and bolshevism.Homo Mythicus, the second part of the trilogy The Nihilist Order, introduces critical thinkers who recognized the importance and centrality of myth in the consciousness of modern man, but did not share Sorel's political conclusions. Walter Benjamin, Ernst Bloch, Ernst Cassirer, Albert Camus and Hannah Arendt, Jean-Paul Sartre and Marshall Mcluhan reconsiderd mythology from a rational and critical perspective. What Sorel and these humanist thinkers had in common was their understanding that man is "Homo mythicus" whether he creates myths or consumes them.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
