| مستخلص: |
Alexander Raven Thomson was a British fascist philosopher, active from 1932 to 1955. I outline Thomson's Spenglerian views on civilization and decline. I argue that Thomson in his first book is an orthodox Spenglerian who accepts that decline is inevitable and thinks that it is morally required to destroy civilization in its final stages. I argue that this suffers from conceptual issues which may have caused Thomson's change to a revised form of Spenglerianism, which is more authentically fascist. This authentically fascist view is then seen to fall prey into the problem inherent in the very idea of permanent rebirth. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
