Publisher's Synopsis
The Revolution of Nihilism: Warning to the West is a book written by Hermann Rauschning that explores the rise of nihilism in Europe during the early 20th century. Rauschning, a former Nazi and one-time Hitler confidant, offers a warning to the Western world about the dangers of nihilism and the potential for it to lead to totalitarianism. The book is divided into three parts: The Age of Nihilism, The Rise of the Totalitarian State, and The West and the Revolution of Nihilism. In the first part, Rauschning examines the roots of nihilism in European philosophy and culture, tracing its development from the Enlightenment to the present day. In the second part, he explores the rise of totalitarianism in Europe, focusing on the Nazi regime in Germany. Finally, in the third part, Rauschning offers his warning to the West, arguing that the only way to prevent the spread of nihilism and totalitarianism is through a return to traditional values and a renewed commitment to democracy and freedom. The Revolution of Nihilism is a powerful and thought-provoking book that offers a unique perspective on the dangers of nihilism and the need for vigilance in the face of totalitarianism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
