LiegentThe Fourth Political Theory
Have you ever wondered why modern political theories fail to explain the complex world we live in? This riveting short dives into why liberalism, communism and fascism — the big three ideologies of the 20th century — have all faded, leaving us directionless. Dugin argues we need a Fourth Political Theory that challenges the blind progress narrative and recognizes the cyclical nature of history. Blending philosophy, theology and geopolitics, this work makes the case for a new political vision centered around freedom, ethnicity, and a return to eternal values. Ultimately, it issues an urgent call to action: we must develop an alternative future-politics before post-liberalism and globalization irreversibly dissolve our societies. This conceptual short provides a fresh take on the crisis of modernity.
Aleksandr Dugin is a Russian political philosopher and analyst who has written extensively on geopolitics and conservative political theory. With over 30 books published, Dugin is considered an expert on Eurasianism and the development of a multi-polar world order to counter Western liberal hegemony. His unique perspectives draw on postmodernism, traditionalism, fascism, and occultism to formulate an anti-Atlanticist worldview and strategy for Russian foreign policy.
