Description

How important have ideas been in the history of Australia? Some people say not particularly. They are wrong. Australian history and politics cannot be understood without an appreciation of the ideas that have motivated Australians. This collection of essays examines some of those key ideas. They include the idea of democracy and how it shaped John Howards leadership, the importance of the ideal of Europe for intellectuals of the 1930s, the distributive ideas as an alternative to liberalism and socialism and the importance of internationalism as an alternative to nationalism. The papers range in time from the colonial period to the present day, from the ideal of the natural aristocrat to the conservative populism of Pauline Hanson. And they deal with fascinating Australian, from the colonial firebrand Daniel Deniehy to possibly the only Australian intellectual to engage actively in propaganda for the Nazis, Randolph Hughes. These essays demonstrate that there is a genuine intellectual depth to Australia.
