Research Abstract |
The conservative revolution in the former period represented by Hofmannsthal, who considered the Holy Roman Empire an ideal multiracial society, seems to have had no political influence at that time and may have no meaning now. The concept proposed by Thomas Mann in the latter period, that society should change from German socialism into a democracy according to the circumstances of the time, also might appear unprincipled. That notwithstanding, the images of an ideal citizen exemplified in the term "conservative revolution," which both authors used, are still alive in the concept of multiracial nations and democracy in modern-day European nations.
