Remley invites us to critically analyze the intellectual roots of contemporary Right-wing politics, a task both badly needed and woefully neglected in political theory today. Tracing a dark philosophical lineage from Guénon to Evola to Bannon, this book gives an account of some of the key ideas animating our present political landscape.
