Description

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.

Alain de Benoist

Alain de Benoist is the leading thinker behind the European ‘New Right’ movement, a metapolitical school of thought he helped found in France in 1968 with the establishment of GRECE (Research and Study Group for European Civilisation). To this day, he remains its primary representative, even while rejecting the label ‘New Right’ since he considers himself to fall outside the Left/Right dichotomy. He lives in Paris and continues to write and give lectures and interviews. Arktos has previously published his books The Problem of Democracy (2011), Beyond Human Rights (2011), Manifesto for a European Renaissance (2012), Carl Schmitt Today (2013), On the Brink of the Abyss (2015), The Indo-Europeans (2016), View from the Right (2017), and Runes and the Origins of Writing (2018).
