"Politics, Intellectuals and Faith" (Matthew Feldman) - это сборник научных статей, который исследует различные аспекты современной политики, которые связаны с дебатами между различными идеологиями и политическими партиями.
В первой части книги автор рассматривает случайную историю Фашистской Италии с Эзра Паунда в качестве примера Фашизма в Италии Муссолини, что привело к многочисленным народным волнениям. Вторая часть книги рассматривает других Фашистов, таких как Мартин Хайдеггер и Андерс Брейвик, а также другие ведущие идеологии в современной Европе и США, такие как Коммунизм и Либерализм. Особое внимание уделяется теме современной войны, политической борьбы и Геноцида. Перечисленные темы охватывают ключевых деятелей от Томаса Мертона и Альберта Камю до русских конструктивистов и Сэмюэля Беккета. Книга охватывает широкий спектр тем, включая историю, культуру, религию и политику. Несмотря на значительный объем материала, книга написана доступным языком и будет интересна широкому кругу читателей.
Politics, Intellectuals and Faith explores the relationship between intellectuals, religion and political movements past and present, focusing upon the former's central role in contemporary political debate and their attempts to convert others to their viewpoints. This diverse collection, edited by the distinguished American historian Matthew Feldman, is divided into two distinct sections – "Liberation and Conversion" and "Redemption and Reformation", allowing for a provocative look at ideology and promotion in action, as well as reflection upon such activity. Analyzing the transition from reactionary struggle for fascism in twentieth century Europe to alternative ideological groups such as liberalism and communism alongside the work of authors such as Ezra Pound and Martin Heideggerr, Feldman shows how ideologists attempt to alter public opinion and provide justification for violent methods, asking us what constitutes political argument and rhetorical structures. This collection not only offers a palpable conviction regarding the role of ideology in effectively influencing public debate, but also introduces a rich reservoir of historical detail and detail-rich writing style. Through its uncompromising approach towards scholarship, it leaves little to the imagination when it comes to values that underpin compelling discourse. Recommended for political science students currently pursuing an interest in ideology, conflict and international relations, Politics, Intellectualsand Faith presents an insightful read for all those seeking to understand the motivations of political actors everywhere.

Описание книги от Matthew Feldman
This wide-ranging collection of academic essays examines the various undertakings by modern intellectuals and ideologues in the process of propaganda and political debate. Matthew Feldman calls attention to the substantial role played in post-Great War Europe and the US by religions—both familiar monotheisms like Christianity and secular ‘political faiths’—over the last century of upheaval and revolutionary change. While the first part considers Ezra Pound as a case study in fascist ʼconversion’ in Mussolini’s Italy, leading to extensive propaganda, the second half examines other fascist ideologues, from Martin Heidegger to Anders Behring Breivik, before turning to other leading ideologies in modern Europe and the US, communism and liberalism, covering key figures from Thomas Merton and Albert Camus to the Russian Constructionists and Samuel Beckett, with especial focus on the subjects of modern warfare, political terrorism, and genocide, ranging from Stalinist gulags to the war in Iraq.
With thought-provoking discussion of the interplay between belief and modern politics as understood by familiar intellectual voices, this volume will be of interest to scholars and general readers alike.
