The cult of violence: Sorel and the Sorelians

The Cult of Violence focuses on the intellectual and political movements inspired by the writings and activities of the French theorist and intellectual Georges Sorel [1847-1922]. This study of Sorel's apocalyptic politics demonstrates the need for a drastic and total renovation of the social order - in which Sorel's conception of violence played a crucial role - became the center of his thought and action and that of his following.
