Armin Mohler (12 April 1920 – 4 July 2003) was a Swiss-born far right political writer and philosopher associated with the Neue Rechte movement. ==Life== Born in Basel, Mohler studied at the University of Basel where for a time he supported communism. He was called up to the Swiss army at the age of 20 but, after reading the works of Oswald Spengler and the German invasion of the Soviet-Union in June 1941, he became a supporter of Nazi Germany and defected to that country in 1942 with the aim of joining the Waffen SS. Mohler was not trusted by SS-authorities and they refused to accept him. Despite of that he remained in Berlin for another year before returning to Switzerland, where he was incarcerated for desertion. After World War II he returned to study in Berlin and completed his doctoral thesis ''Die Konservative Revolution in Deutschland 1918-1932 (The Conservative Revolution in Germany, 1918-1932)'' under Karl Jaspers in 1949. The aim of his thesis was not merely scientific, but also providing old traditions for new pathways for a non-national socialist Right in post-war Germany. In the same year, he worked as a secretary for his idol Ernst Jünger, but increasingly felt that Jünger had become too moderate for his taste after the end of the war. Mohler went on to work as a correspondent in Paris for ''Die Zeit'' from 1953 to 1961. After that he lived in Munich, leading the Carl Friedrich von Siemens Foundation. For a brief period he worked as a speech writer for Franz Josef Strauß, but his influence was marginal. In 1967, he became the first to receive the Konrad Adenauer Prize, which provoked strong media attacks on him. In 1970 he became a major contributing editor to Caspar von Schrenck-Notzing's conservative monthly magazine ''Criticon'', Germany's most important platform for non-mainstream conservative thought for almost three decades. He died in Munich in 2003 at the age of 83. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Armin Mohler」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
