Parkhomenko, R. N. The Conservative Revolution and the Development of the Idea of Freedom in Germany

Abstract: In this article the author examines the phenomenon of a philosophical movement ‘conservative revolution’ which started in Germany during the first third of the last century and made a great influence on the political and intellectual development of Germany. Parkhomenko proves that conservative revolution reflected peculiarities of German mentality which, on the one hand, estranged it from classical Western ideology of liberalism and individualism and, on the other hand, brought it closer to the Russian tradition of sobornost (national unity) and collectivism. The research methodology has involved the study of original texts in German as well as scientific literature that has been published in our country lately. Parkhomenko describes the main peculiarities of the philosophical and political movement of conservative revolution in Germany. Those peculiarities influenced the unique adoption of Western liberal ideas of Anglo-Saxons in Germany and led to the development of their own concept of freedom. In addition, the author of the article reveals specific features of German mentality and compares German mentality to Russian mentality.


Keywords:
