Friedrich Gundolf e il cesarismo novecentesco (tra Nietzsche, Spengler e Gramsci)

Abstract

Despite the different political and speculative approaches found in authors such as Nietzsche, Gundolf, Spengler, Gramsci or Lenin, modern Caesarist theory identifies a common root in current Western democracies. Mature democracies are not the antithesis of Caesarism, but its necessary point of arrival. Therefore, the authoritarian drifts that pass through contemporary Europe require an ever more careful reflection on the true meaning of parliamentary dynamics.
