This book is the foundational text for understanding the movement of ideas that changed the characteristics of European culture between the two wars and still produces proposals, discussions, and passionate reinterpretations today.

Divided into four sections (the problematic, the topic, the guiding images, the five groups), it analyzes all the fundamental issues of the "Conservative Revolution": the relationships with National Socialism and its "Trotskyists," the concepts of the German movement and its worldview, national Bolshevism, the emergence of a new type of revolutionary during the Weimar period, the intellectual influence of Nietzsche, the holistic perception of time, the opposition to nihilism, the polemic against Christianity, "heroic realism," the reconciliation of contradictions, the differences in sensitivity and the works among the most important components of the movement of ideas (Volkischen, Nationalrevolutionäre, Biindischen, Landvolkbewegung).
