Hegel argued that the progress of history was gradually bringing about greater freedom and restoring our lost sense of community. But his successors Marx, Nietzsche and Heidegger rejected Hegel's version of the end of history with its legitimization of the bourgeois nation-state. They sought to replace it with  ever more utopian, apocalyptic and illiberal visions of the future: Marx's Socialism, Nietzsche's Overman, and Heidegger's commitment to Nazism. This book combines an exceptionally clear and rich study of these thinkers with a deep dive into the extent to which their views fed the political catastrophes of revolution, tyranny and genocide, including the Jacobins, Bolsheviks, Nazis, Khmer Rouge, ISIS and populist nationalism, but argues that the Philosophy of Freedom remains indispensable for understanding today's world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 672g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 161 x 234 x 29 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781108424301\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Waller R.Newell","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44095099601146,"sku":"9781108424301","price":29.51,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1653054812093_book.jpg?v=1653246332","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/tyranny-and-revolution-rousseau-to-heidegger-9781108424301","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
