"The term "metapolitics," a coinage from Richard Wagner's nationalist circle, signifies
an ideology resulting from five distinct strands: romanticism (embodied chiefly in
the Wagnerian ethos), the pseudo-science of race, Fuehrer worship, vague economic
socialism, and the alleged supernatural and unconscious force of the Volk collectivity.
Together, those elements engendered an emphasis on irrationalism and hysteria and
belief in a special German mission to direct the course of the world's history." "Viereck
analyzes nineteenth-century German thought's conflicting attitudes toward political
procedures and social arrangements rooted in classical, rational legalistic, and Christian
traditions. This edition includes an appreciation by Thomas Mann and an exchange with
Jacques Barzun debating Viereck's criticism of German romanticism. Viereck's essays
on the case of Albert Speer, on Claus von Stauffenberg (the German officer who led
the army conspiracy to assassinate-Hitler), and on the poets Stefan George and Georg
Heym appear here for the first time in book form."--Jacket
