Fascist Mythologies

The History and Politics of Unreason in Borges, Freud, and Schmitt

Beschreibung

Federico Finchelstein draws on a striking combination of thinkers¿Jorge Luis Borges, Sigmund Freud, and Carl Schmitt¿to consider fascism as a form of political mythmaking. At a moment when forces redolent of fascism cast a shadow over world affairs, this book provides a timely critical analysis of the dangers of myth in modern politics.
