Beskrivning
Weimar casts a long shadow over post-war political thought. The Weimar Republic is used to understand contemporary threats to democracy and to critique or defend modernity. It has generated a series of political lessons that are invoked whenever democracies are challenged. This book questions the historical validity of most of these lessons and their applicability to contemporary political orders. It shows how Weimar lessons are often influenced by partial and superficial readings of events, often intended to advance particular political projects. The chapters give detailed accounts of how so-called Weimar lessons have influenced, if not shaped, political debates in Germany, elsewhere in Europe, and the United States.

Recensioner i media

'Weimar's Long Shadow magnificently captures the relevance of Germany's first failed experiment in democracy for our own troubled times. The authors do not exaggerate the similarities. Rather, in essays that range from treatments of Strauss and Trumpian Straussians, to militant and social democracy, and the TV series Babylon Berlin, they illuminate concerns central to us now.' David Dyzenhaus, University Professor of Law and Philosophy, Toronto
