Matthew Rose
A bracing account of liberalism's most radical critics, introducing one of the most controversial movements of the 20th century.
In this eye-opening book, Matthew Rose introduces us to one of the most controversial intellectual movements of the 20th century, the "radical right", and discusses its adherents' different attempts to imagine political societies after the death or decline of liberalism. Questioning democracy's most basic norms and practices, these critics rejected ideas about human equality, minority rights, religious toleration, and cultural pluralism not out of implicit biases, but out of explicit principle. They disagree profoundly on race, religion, economics, and political strategy, but they all agree that a postliberal political life will soon be possible.
Focusing on the work of Oswald Spengler, Julius Evola, Francis Parker Yockey, Alain de Benoist, and Samuel Francis, Rose shows how such thinkers are animated by religious aspirations and anxieties that are ultimately in tension with Christian teachings and the secular values those teachings birthed in modernity.

This book is a necessity for those who seek to understand the furthest fringes of right wing ideology, as the present progressive orthodoxy is woefully unequipped to do so. The self-declared victory of liberalism was perhaps premature, and Mr. Rose demonstrates why this deserves your attention.

I’m not a Christian, but I can see the argument being made. At the very least, Rose persuasively shows that many of these figures themselves believe Christianity is the source of liberalism. This allows Rose to credit Christian universalism for liberalism’s moral progress while also absolving it of blame for the reactionary movements that reject it. In other words, if your chief complaint about Christianity is that it slows down moral progress, Rose’s argument is that you’ve got it exactly backwards.
I’m not fully convinced—but it’s a brilliant move.
Lots of interesting stuff
