| Sumario: | A few years before the beginning of the Second World War, the rapprochement between socialism and western esotericism would be outlined in France. This effort, produced around the Collège de Sociologie as a reaction to Fascism, aimed to reactivate ideas and efforts that can be traced back to the French Revolution. The resulting meta-narrative, constructed by various intellectuals around Georges Bataille, including Walter Benjamin and Pierre Klossowski, sought to establish its origins in Valentianism and, later, in Roman theology. The aim was to create an intellectual alternative to Marxism through the ideas of Fourier, Blanqui, Sade, and Nietzsche inventing a construct that would decisively influence Post-structuralism in the 1960s. |
