A Theoretical Definition of Totalitarianism

Radule Knežević ; direktor i glavni urednik Nakladno-istraživačkog zavoda Politička kultura u Zagrebu

Sažetak

Totalitarianism, which has been widely present in the modem political discourse, was first observed between the two world wars, defined only in the fifties and rediscovered in the mid seventies. As much as it still raises disputes as a theoretical conception, it represents a relevant and irreplaceable issue in political-science analysis. It is in this context that the author analyzes authenticity and theoretical definition of totalitarianism in the works of H. Arendt, R. Aron and C. Lefort from the one side, and in the works of C. Friedrich, Z. Brzezinski and F. Neumann on the other. The author particularly refers to the recent historical and political-science study of B. Bruneteau.
