Political and Legal Aspects of the Intellectual Union of "Conservative Revolutionaries" in Germany of the 1920s and 1930s.

The paper analyzes the intellectual union “Conservative Revolution” that existed in the Weimar Republic in the 1920s – 1930s from the standpoint of the history of ideas. The movement under study is presented as a textual compilation, a collection of politically and legal connotations of ideological positions and attitudes contained in the texts of various “conservatively revolutionary” authors. The paper presents an analysis of the texts of such authors as Karl Schmitt, Oswald Spengler, Arthur Moller van den Broek, Hans Freier, Ernst Jünger, Armin Moler. Based on a textological analysis, the author of the study concludes that it is necessary to develop an original research methodology and hermeneutics of reading “conservatively revolutionary” texts. This methodology is constituted as contextual. In accordance with the research narrative, the semantic content of the analyzed texts is analyzed through their authenticity and self-sufficiency in isolation from the historical-legal and historical-political teleological analysis. The author of the study concludes that the key political content of the “Conservative Revolution” is the desire to overcome the “estrangement” of the late modernity caused by the Enlightenment phenomenon in the Western European culture of the new time. Based on this provision, the political and legal connotations of the submitted texts are analyzed.
