German Pietism, by contrast, defined in its narrowest sense as a late-seventeenth- and eighteenth-century movement for the renewal of the Lutheran Churches of the Holy Roman Empire, has long figured in the history of German “Enlightenment” philosophy as Wolffianism’s anti-philosophical, religious foil. The conventional portrait of Wolffianism and Pietism as antithetical to one another, which has long structured the historiography of eighteenth-century German philosophy, is by no means implausible, but it has been undermined over the past several decades by a significant and growing body of new research. This essay offers a panoramic survey and critical assessment of the state of the field.","PeriodicalId":39827,"journal":{"name":"Intellectual History Review","volume":"48 1","pages":"673 - 701"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139324484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The issue of political leadership in the thought of the late Michels","authors":"Francesca Antonini","doi":"10.1080/17496977.2023.2245290","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/17496977.2023.2245290","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTThe aim of this paper is to briefly reconstruct Robert Michels’s account of the issue of political leadership as it developed in the last phase of his work, between the mid-1920s and the mid-1930s. By focusing on a series of more-or-less neglected writings (from Sozialismus und Fascismus to Studi sulla democrazia e sull’autorità, passing through the Corso di sociologia politica and Italien von heute), I will show how his “new theory of the élite” develops and how it is connected to the so-called “charismatic direction of public affairs” that is Michels’s late reflection on the role and the nature of the political leader. In doing this, I will highlight the triple root of his conception of charismatic leadership (in short: the Weberian theoretical framework; the psychological aspect of hero-worship; fascist ideology) as well as the essential combination of history and theory that characterises his thinking.KEYWORDS: Robert Michelsleadershipcharismafascismélite AcknowledgementsThis article is part of a broader research of mine on Caesarism and political leadership. A first version of the text was presented at the Kolloquium of the Lichtenberg Kolleg (Georg-August-Universität Göttingen) in January 2021; I thank all the participants for their insightful comments. Thanks also to the anonymous referees of the journal and to Prof. Thomas Ahnert for their suggestions on how to improve the text.Notes1 A signal in this sense is represented by the reprints of more than one of Michels’s numerous works, for a long time only available in their original version. See Michels, Corso; Michels, Der Patriotismus. It is also noteworthy to recall the monumental intellectual biography by Timm Genett (Der Fremde im Kriege). Among the most recent journal articles in English on Michels, see Lavenia, “Rethinking Robert Michels”; Drochon, “Robert Michels”; Piano, “Revisiting Democratic Elitism”. See also the latest monograph by Andrew Bonnell, Robert Michels, Socialism and Modernity.2 Between the 1970s and the 1990s, there has been much discussion on the question of the meaning of Michels’s support of the fascist regime. If e.g. Beetham (“From Socialism to Fascism”) sustained the thesis of the necessary outcome of the elitism into fascism, other scholars argued in favour of Michels’s autonomy towards the regime (and even perhaps Michels’s opposition against it; on this point, see e.g. Sivini, Introduzione). For a survey on the different positions, see Tuccari, Dilemmi della democrazia moderna, 309ff.; Genett, Der Fremde im Kriege, 722ff.3 As is known, Michels was a very prolific writer and his bibliography is very extensive (see Opere di Roberto Michels). Given the incredibly large number of his publications, the present contribution will necessarily focus only on a selection of them (albeit very significant, I would argue). In the next pages, with the exception of the quotations already in English in §§ 3, 6 and from the English edition of Michels, Soziologie (Poli","PeriodicalId":39827,"journal":{"name":"Intellectual History Review","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135203398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Briggs","doi":"10.1080/17496977.2023.2253583","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/17496977.2023.2253583","url":null,"abstract":"This essay reviews three recently published books on the intellectual history of the Italian Renaissance. In his survey of Italian humanism in the “long fifteenth century” (c. 1350–c. 1525) The Intellectual World of the Italian Renaissance, Christopher Celenza argues that the intellectual project of the humanists was centred on questions regarding language, philosophy, and the stance of the intellectual toward institutions. Celenza traces the fortunes and mutations of the humanist project into the modern era in The Italian Renaissance and the Origins of the Humanities, and expresses concern that in today's universities the balance struck by the humanists between “openness” and “boundary-generating habits” unduly favours the latter. Humanism, according to James Hankins's Virtue Politics, was primarily about repairing politics by first reforming the moral character of Italy's ruling elites. The language and literature of Roman and Greek antiquity provided the models for this education in virtue. Hankins believes the humanists' educational and cultural programme offers a salutary corrective to our misplaced, post-Machiavellian trust in legal constraints and constitutional guardrails to regulate contemporary political life.","PeriodicalId":39827,"journal":{"name":"Intellectual History Review","volume":"28 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135980380","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
