Roger Scruton, the British political philosopher, has made the subject of his investigation the thinkers who had the most influence on the new left tendencies in this book. His main question in this book is what is the meaning and state of the left today, and what path has it taken since 1989 and the collapse of the Soviet Union to reach this current state? He tried to answer this question, and by reviewing the opinions of thinkers such as E. P. Thompson, Perry Andersen, Eric Hobsbawm, Ronald Dworkin, Jean-Paul Sartre, Michel Foucault, Louis Althusser, Jacques Lacan, Jacques Derrida, Alain Badiou, Theodor Adorno, Jürgen Habermas, Antonio Gramsci, Georg Lukacs, Edward Said, and Slavi Žižek. Show how the New Left abandoned the cause of the working class and made women, homosexuals, and immigrants their concern. With clear, unambiguous, and precise language, Scruton has put the works of these thinkers under the microscope of his critical gaze and unraveled the meaning of their modern language.
