He documents evidence of a cultural tradition he calls 'reactionary modernism' found in the writings of German engineers and of the major intellectuals of the. Weimar right: Ernst Juenger, Oswald Spengler, Werner Sombart, Hans Freyer, Carl Schmitt, and Martin Heidegger. The book shows how German nationalism and later National Socialism created what Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's propaganda minister, called the 'steel-like romanticism of the twentieth century'. By associating technology with the Germans, rather than the Jews, with beautiful form rather than the formlessness of the market, and with a strong state rather than a predominance of economic values and institutions, these right-wing intellectuals reconciled Germany's strength with its romantic soul and national identity. 410 0$aACLS Humanities E-Book. 606 $aEnlightenment$zGermany 607 $aGermany$xHistory$y1918-1933 607 $aGermany$xIntellectual life$y20th century 615 0$aEnlightenment 676 $a943.086 700 $aHerf$b Jeffrey$f1947-$0144483 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996247957603316 996 $aReactionary modernism$917780 997 $aUNISA
