Contributions to the History of European Liberalism

By Dr. Kurt Hancke

This translation of Dr. Kurt Hancke's book ( Beiträge zur Entstehungsgeschichte des europäischen Liberalismus , 1942) should be welcomed as a major, original addition to the growing scepticism in the Anglo world about the merits of Western liberalism. Hancke's historical reflections on the history of Western liberalism and the Enlightenment notion of an "undifferentiated" humanity with equal rights, take us beyond a traditionalist perspective to propose instead a German nationalist conception of humanity and individualism. This emphasis on the importance of a nationalist position that values the highest in human nature, expressed from the perspective of a particular people rather than a rootless cosmopolitan humanity, is one reason to take this book by Hancke seriously, irrespective of what our views may be about his political actions as a supporter of German National-Socialism. -- Dr. Ricardo Duchesne
