The Seduction of Unreason: The Intellectual Romance with Fascism : from Nietzsche to Postmodernism

Princeton University Press (2004)

Abstract

An intellectual genealogy of the postmodern spirit, this book shows that postmodernism's infatuation with fascism has been widespread and not incidental. It calls into question postmodernism's claim to have inherited the mantle of the left - and suggests that postmodern thought has long been smitten with the opposite end of the political spectrum.
