Summary Of "The Fascism" By Jover Cervera - UNIVERSITY SUMMARIES - E-book - ePub

We have summarized here the essential of this book by the author. THE FASCISMSCHAPTER 3 AN IDEOLOGICAL CONTEXT PRECURSOR TO FASCISMSThe crisis of the liberal model in the last quarter of the 19th century did not find an explanation in the scheme of rational thought. A stage characterized by irrationalism began. History lost its meaning as a process, and began to exalt unquestioned historical products such as the nation, race, etc.
Believing that the danger of the masses was imminent, the dominant minorities adapted the economic and political structures not through reforms, but through a transmutation of hierarchical society under the guise of democracy. A fight begins, not only against socialism, but against scientism, and materialism. That is, against the antagonistic social class and against the thought that had conceived reality as rationally analysable.
