Origins and Doctrine of Fascism : With Selections from Other Works Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Giovanni Gentile (1875-1944) was the major theorist of Italian fascism, supplying its justifi cation and rationale as a developmental form of dictatorship for status-deprived nations languishing on the margins of the Great Powers.

Gentile's "actualism" (as his philosophy came to be called) absorbed many intellectual currents of the early twentieth century, including nationalism, syndicalism, and futurism.

He called the individual to an idealistic ethic of obedience, work, self-sacrifi ce, and national community in a dynamic rebellion against the perceived impostures of imperialism.

This volume makes available some of his more signifi cant writings produced shortly before and after the Fascist accession to power in Italy.
