The prevailing Left defines itself against neoliberalism, conservative traditionalism, and fascism as a matter of course. The philosophical differences, however, may be more apparent than real. \u003ci\u003eThe Right-Wing Mirror of Critical Theory\u003c\/i\u003e argues that dominant trends in critical and radical theory inadvertently reproduce the cardinal tenets of the twentieth century's most influential right-wing philosophers. It finds the rejection of foundationalism, rationalism, economic planning, and vanguardism mirrored in the work of Schmitt, Oakeshott, Hayek, and Strauss. If it is to be more than merely an inverted image of the Right, critical theory must reevaluate its relationship to what Julius Nyerere once called \"deliberate design\" in politics. In the era of anthropogenic climate change, a substantial--not merely nominal--departure from right-wing talking points is all the more necessary and momentous. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Larry Alan Busk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1666929638\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781666929638\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lexington Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/22\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Larry Alan Busk","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44311013261567,"sku":"9781666929638","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7456a8c6-78ba-4e4d-b0bc-921773cc0603.jpg?v=1695720636","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-right-wing-mirror-of-critical-larry-alan-busk-9781666929638","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
