Download Fools, Frauds and Firebrands: Thinkers of the New Left AudioBook Free

From one of the leading critics of leftist orientations comes a report of the thinkers who've most inspired the behaviour of the brand new Left. You start with a ruthless analysis of New Leftism and concluding with a critique of the key strands in its thinking, Roger Scruton 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 Žižek, Ralph Milliband, and Eric Hobsbawm. In addition to assessments of these thinkers' philosophical and political contributions, the reserve consists of a biographical and bibliographical section summarizing their jobs & most important writings. In Fools, Frauds and Firebrands Scruton asks, what does indeed the Left look like today, and exactly how has it advanced? He charts the transfer of grievances, from the working category to women, gays, and immigrants, asks what we should can put in the place of radical egalitarianism, and what clarifies the ongoing dominance of antinomian behaviour in the intellectual world. Can there be any groundwork for resistance to the leftist plan without religious beliefs? Writing with great clearness, Scruton gives a devastating critique of modern left-wing thinking.
