Review of 'Manifesto for a European Renaissance' on 'Goodreads'

No rating

Pretty hard read. Spot on in some ways, feels extremely theoretical and utopian in other ways. In the end, it doesn't really synthesize a simple and coherent world view beyond criticism of modernity and simpler structures that allow for case-by-case decision making.

But on its own, it's a great way to escape the classical ideological battles between liberalism, communism etc. For right wing ideologies it is easy to get trapped in modernist thinking where the only wiggle room is who to hate.

The new right seems to actually give a shit about the environment, celebrates diversity and tradition.
