The thinkers who have been most influential on the attitudes of the New Left are examined in this study by one of the leading critics of leftist orientations in modern Western civilization. Scruton begins with a ruthless analysis of New Leftism and concludes with a critique of the key strands in its thinking. He conducts a reappraisal of such major left-wing thinkers as: E. P. Thompson, Ronald Dworkin, R. D. Laing, Jurgen Habermas, Gyorgy Lukacs, Jean-Paul Sartre, Jacques Derrida, Slavoj Zizek, Ralph Milliband and Eric Hobsbawm. In addition to assessments of these thinkers' philosophical and political contributions, the book contains a biographical and bibliographical section summarizing their careers and most important writings.In Thinkers of the New Left Scruton asks, what does the Left look like today and as it has evolved since 1989? He charts the transfer of grievances from the working class to women, gays and immigrants, asks what can we put in the place of radical egalitarianism, and what explains the continued dominance of antinomian attitudes in the intellectual world? Can there be any foundation for resistance to the leftist agenda without religious faith?Scruton's exploration of these important issues is written with skill, perception and at all times with pellucid clarity. The result is a devastating critique of modern left-wing thinking.… (altro)

Es ist nicht leicht, linke Ideologen zu entmystifizieren, weil sie immer einen hell strahlenden Mantel der Hochmoral tragen, voller Stolz und Rechthaberei. RS legt ihnen mit diesem Buch ihren Mantel ab und zeigt, wie nackt die Theoretiker der Unterdrückten tatsächlich agieren. In diesem Buch werden viele Verirrte genannt, die ich noch nicht einmal kannte, die Wege aufgezeigt haben, die nicht von bürgerlicher Vernunft durchdrungen sind.

Das durchtriebenste Charakteristikum des Marxismus ist, dass er sich als Wissenschaft verkaufen konnte. Daraus ergibt sich alles übrige, die Diffamierung der bürgerlichen Denker als Reaktionäre und Revanchisten ist seit der Aufklärung noch dramatisch gewachsen, in Deutschland kommt die beliebte N-Kennzeichnung hinzu, anfallartig z.B. auf Twitter von einem Herrn Jörg abgesondert. Womit ein besonders peinliches intellektuelles Mitläufer-Kerzchen auf den Geburtstagstörtchen der Linken herausgestellt sei.

Der aktuelle Neusprech der Aktivisten gegen Rechts ist direkt aus 1984 abgeschrieben, ihre totalitäre Rechthaberei speist sich aus der franz. Revolution, deren totalitäre Mechanismen die Kernproblematik allen linken Denkens kennzeichnet. Alles wird neu und das Alte in die Tonne geworfen, von einigen wenigen werden neue Maßstäbe vorgegeben. Links, das sind gut klingende intellektuelle Taschenspielertricks, immer abseits der Realität. Und in schöner Regelmäßigkeit vollumfänglich scheiternd.

Heute ist der Marxismus in die Kultur geflossen. Bis auf den weißen Mann sind alle gleich und gleicher nur sind die akademischen Wächter, vor allem PoC und feministische Grobdenker. Der Dekonstruktivismus hat in allen Medien gesiegt, er siegt unaufhörlich, er besiegt auch die Biologie. Wen ein Mann sich einbildet, einen Frau zu sein, dann ist es möglich und richtig, dies zu umzusetzen.

Wer wissen will, warum sich unsere Gesellschaft immer tiefer spaltet, liegt mit diesen Ursprüngen linken Denkens richtig. Das Buch erfordert Aufmerksamkeit und höchste Konzentration, Mit-Denken, aber es zeigt die schwachen Grundlagen linken Denkens, es ist oft weniger als Nichts, Wortgeklingel der Hochmoral und der arroganten Besserwisserei.

Os pensadores e as obras mais influentes nas atitudes da Nova Esquerda são submetidos a uma rigorosa análise neste estudo cheio de erudição e de ironia. Jürgen Habermas, Lukács, Slavoj Žižek, Miliband, Sartre e Hobsbawm, por exemplo, são estudados pormenorizadamente – com detalhes biográficos e bibliográficos. Scruton analisa as mudanças do pensamento da Nova Esquerda desde 1989.
O resultado é uma crítica devastadora ao pensamento dominante nos média e no jornalismo atuais. Com este livro, Scruton desconstrói alguns dos mitos do pensamento politicamente correto dos nossos dias.

Ensayo de un representante de la nueva derecha. Desmitifica a la izquierda y alguna sarasa de sus autores. Muestra como esa izquierda "para no hacerle el juego a la derecha" terminó co honestando los millones de muertos de Stalin, Mao y otros. Tal vez demasiado exagerado en algunos puntos, y con abuso a las citas fueras de contexto. Pero muy válido para la tradición del debate intelectual, que muchas veces esos pensadores de la izquierda acá citados rehuyen abiertamente ( )

Scruton is a really good writter, and makes some really strong points! A great book to be read by a 18yr old wanna be conservative like myself. I won't give it a 5 star review cause I think some chapters get really specific and really really boring sometimes. But also that could be my lack of knowledge of the subject, but even in chapters in which I didn't know what he was saying, I still learned a lot of things, especially in chapters 1,2,4,7,8. ( )
