The book delves deeply into the philosophical underpinnings of fascism, exploring the key ideas and concepts that informed the movement's worldview.Palmeri traces the origins of fascism back to the intellectual and cultural milieu of turn-of-the-century Italy, and shows how the movement was shaped by a range of thinkers and writers, from Nietzsche and Schopenhauer to Gabriele D'Annunzio and Giovanni Gentile.The book also explores the political and social context in which fascism emerged, examining the economic, cultural, and geopolitical factors that contributed to its rise.
