The Totalitarian Regimes Of The Twentieth Century Reveal Disturbing And Uncomfortable Facts About Human Nature, Social Life, And Moral Progress. Totalitarianism, Ironically, Came At A Time When The 'Spirit Of Modernity' Was In Full Swing And Human Potential Was Supposedly At Its Peak. Distracted By The Wonders Of The Industrial Revolution, Few Would Have Guessed The Horrors That Were Just Around The Corner. Focusing On The Historical Background To Twentiethcentury Totalitarianism, This Book Unravels The Complexity And Mystery Behind Ideas Of Domination, Leadership, And Human Development. In Doing So, It Not Only Sheds Light On The Dark Side Of Modern Thought But Also Shows That The Foundations Of Totalitarian Ideology Existed Long Before The 'Modern Age'. Totalitarian Thought Is Best Understood By Looking At Four Fundamental Myths About Race, The Crowd, Revolutionary Violence, And Eugenics. This Book Analyzes Each Myth In Depth By Tracing Its Beginnings And Development. It Shows How Key Sociopolitical Thinkers Wrote About And Interpreted These Myths And How They Became The Basis Of Many Important Racial And Social Theories. Specific Attention Is Given To Six Controversial Nineteenth Century Thinkers Maistre, Gobineau, Galton, Le Bon, Vacher And Sorel. Llobera, Through Detailed Analysis Of Their Work, Suggests That These Socalled 'Prophets Of Doom' With Their Antibourgeois, Elitist And Antiprogressive Leanings, Understood The Sociopolitical Reality Of Modern Society Far More Accurately Than Other Highly Praised Social Thinkers Of The Same Period. These Key Figures Provide A Crucial Insight Into Totalitarianism By Overturning Nineteenthcentury Illusions Of Progress And Laying Bare The Darker Aspects Of Human Nature.The Making Of Totalitarian Thought Is An Accessible And Penetrating Overview Of A Compelling Phenomenon. It Emphasizes The Importance Of Previously Neglected Sociopolitical Writing And Neatly Unpacks Sophisticated Intellectual Ideas. This
