Abstract: "In 1989, a new chapter in the long history of German culture began. Reunified Germany is of course not a "new" country, and its culture - including the political culture - contains elements whose origins lie in the period before 1945. This study concerns itself with one of these elements: the cultural conceptions and political views of right-wing intellectuals, and places this literature in the context of German history, politics, and society. Reunification and the end of the Cold War have removed the taboos that had made it difficult for German conservatives to bring their views to the marketplace of ideas.
