Sternhell locates their origins in the eighteenth century with the advent of the Anti-Enlightenment, far earlier than most historians. The thinkers belonging to the Anti-Enlightenment (a movement originally identified by Friederich Nietzsche) represent a perspective that is antirational and that rejects the principles of natural law and the rights of man. Sternhell asserts that the Anti-Enlightenment was a development separate from the Enlightenment and sees the two traditions as evolving parallel to one another over time. He contends that J. G. Herder and Edmund Burke are among the real founders of the Anti-Enlightenment and shows how that school undermined the very foundations of modern liberalism, finally contributing to the development of fascism that culminated in the European catastrophes of the twentieth century. 606 $aConservatism$zEurope$xHistory 606 $aEnlightenment 606 $aRight and left (Political science) 606 $aPolitical science$zEurope$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aPolitical science$zEurope$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aPolitical science$zEurope$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aConservatism$xHistory. 615 0$aEnlightenment. 615 0$aRight and left (Political science) 615 0$aPolitical science$xHistory 615 0$aPolitical science$xHistory 615 0$aPolitical science$xHistory 676 $a320.52094 700 $aSternhell$b Zeev$0134287 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456183003321 996 $aThe anti-enlightenment tradition$92490191 997 $aUNINA
