In spite of the differences dividing the German intellectual trend of cultural pessimism, the conservative revolution, and Fascist thinking, all these paradigms are linked by the characteristic conviction that ‘modernity’, being the consequence of the French Revolution, was ruled by the ‘feminine principle’. This principle was supposed to represent what is anti-military, anti-state, and anti-cultural at the same time. Variations on the theory of male bonding (Männerbund) were the intellectual reaction to that ‘feminine principle’. The intellectual patterns described here find their continuation in contemporary conservative thought.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Cultural Pessimism And Heroic Manliness}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/86846/PDF/Journal10276-Volume58_Issue1-01_paper.pdf}, doi={10.2478/kultura-2014-0011}, keywords={French Revolution, Modernity, cultural pessimism, conservative reaction, malebonding}, }
