In 'Against Fascism', Umberto Eco presents us with an urgent and necessary manifesto to recognize the signs of eternal fascism. Based on a lecture given in 1995, Eco offers us fourteen essential keys to identify the ghost of fascism in its various forms, even those that disguise themselves as innocuous. This essay is an invitation to reflection and memory, so as not to take for granted a phenomenon that can resurface under new appearances. With his insightful and playful style, Eco provides us with tools so that the present and the future do not resemble our worst past.
Umberto Eco was an Italian medievalist, philosopher, semiotician, novelist, cultural critic, and political and social commentator. In English, he is best known for his popular 1980 novel The Name of the Rose, a historical mystery combining semiotics in fiction with biblical analysis, medieval studies and literary theory, as well as Foucault's Pendulum, his 1988 novel which touches on the history of occultism and its contemporary interpretation through the new age movement.
