He draws on history and philosophy as well as the essays and novels of Thomas Mann and Albert Camus to explain the global resurgence of fascism, often disguised by its false promises of ushering in freedom and greatness. Riemen’s own response to what he sees as the spiritual crisis of our age is articulated in “The Return of Europa,” a moving story about the meaning of European humanism with its universal values of truth, beauty, justice, and love for life—values thHat are the origin and basis of a democratic civilization. 650 0 Fascism. 650 0 Humanism. 650 0 Political ethics. 650 0 World politics|y21st century. 700 12 Riemen, Rob,|d1962-|tEternal return of fascism. 700 12 Riemen, Rob,|d1962-|tReturn of Europa. 740 02 Eternal return of fascism. 740 02 Return of Europa.
