Yet the underlying beliefs or political philosophy of one of the movements that opposes liberal democratic forms of government--the alt-right--are relatively unknown. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Philosophical Foundation of Alt-Right Politics and Ressentiment is a timely book that analyses how the principles of current American politics have developed. William Remley asserts that the philosophy of Traditionalism is central to the alt-right's understanding of itself and explores the perceived threat to social status that seems to have propelled the movement to its prominent place in American politics. Remley uses Social Dominance Theory and the philosophical work of Jean-Paul Sartre and Friedrich Nietzsche to look at how group formation and hierarchies have given rise to authoritarian leadership and how a tendency that can be best described and explained through Nietzsche's concept of ressentiment led to the anti-foreign sentiment that rules American politics today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Remley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1538147998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781538147993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/04\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.46d","brand":"William Remley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48485578866943,"sku":"9781538147993","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_247e9575-7fb3-4964-add2-f4363ea10cfe.jpg?v=1778050149","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-philosophical-foundation-of-alt-right-william-remley-9781538147993","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
