Fools, Frauds and Firebrands

Roger Scruton, a prominent critic of modern Western leftist orientations, offers a rigorous examination of the New Left's most influential thinkers. He provides a detailed reappraisal of figures like Jean-Paul Sartre, Jacques Derrida, and Slavoj Zizek, analyzing their philosophical and political contributions. This study explores the evolution of leftist thought since 1989, questioning its foundations and continued dominance in the intellectual world. The result is a clear and devastating critique of contemporary left-wing ideology.
