Fools, scammers and arsonists: Thinkers of the new left. Skruton R.

Roger Skruton, one of the main critics of left -wing ideas, turns to the work of those who have made the greatest contribution to the development of this area of ​​thought. In an accessible form, he analyzes the theory of Eric Hobsbaum and Edward Palmer Thompson, John Kennet Galbrait and Ronald Dvorkin, Jean-Paul Sartre and Michel Foucault, Dierdy Lucac and Jurgen Habermas, Louis Altyusser, Jacques Lacan and Gilles Deleza, Perri Andersh Sayda, Alena Badya and Slavia Zizhek. The subject of analysis is the movement of new leftists not only at the present stage, but also in the process of formation since the late 1950s. Scrudo praises all the main directions of the new left -handed thought and seeks to find a support point for confrontation, while not based on religion. The book is intended for political scientists, philosophers, sociologists, historians and all those interested in social philosophy and political theory.
