Heritage and Foundations

A Critical Anthology of Contemporary Ideas
View from the Right
was originally published in French in 1977, at the time that Alain de
Benoist’s GRECE think tank was at the height of its influence. The
book consists of a series of essays and profiles of various thinkers
and figures who Benoist considers to embody the defining elements of
the various strands of Right-wing thought. It immediately took the
French political and intellectual worlds by storm, and in 1978 it was
awarded the Grand Prize by the prestigious and historic French
Academy.

It continues to be regarded as one of the most
important modern French works on political philosophy, and as being
the fundamental statement of the principles of the New Right during
its early years.
This first volume in a three-volume translation by
Arktos is an encyclopedic history of ideas that addresses the
philosophical, spiritual, scientific, and cultural-historical
foundations of the European heritage.
