Political Platonism- the Philosophy of Politics

Alexander
Dugin’s Political Platonism
offers a seminal analysis of the contemporary philosophical
crisis from one of the best-known writers and political commentators
in post-Soviet Russia. Through a series of essays, course
transcripts, and a single long interview—each remarkable for the
depth of its learning and the boldness of its vision—Dugin exposes
the profoundest roots of the Western philosophical tradition,
offering his view of why it has reached its final terminus, and his
indication of where a new beginning must be sought.

The works collected in this volume
present Dugin’s theory of Political Platonism as a fundamental
philosophical and political orientation, capable at once of reviving
higher political and social forms and furnishing solid ground for
resistance to the collapse of the contemporary world. His
multi-perspective thesis offers a thorough and thought-provoking
critique of modernity and a masterful survey of Western philosophy,
reaching from before Heraclitus to beyond Heidegger. In its
provocative, clear-sighted analyses and its visionary flights, this
book provides an invaluable reference for those already familiar with
Dugin, and an intriguing introduction for those coming to him for the
first time.
