Inside ”Putin’s Brain”: The Political Philosophy of Alexander Dugin | Michael Millerman

“Millerman has insight into Putin at a philosophical level.” -Christopher Rufo, Senior Fellow, Manhattan Institute

"You may disagree with something Millerman writes about Dugin, but you cannot ignore him. He is the leading English-language interpreter of Dugin's thought..." -Benjamin R. Teitelbaum, author of War for Eternity: The Rise of the Populist Right and the Return of Traditionalism

"Given the tectonic shifts in global geopolitics and the intense intellectual ferment on the right in recent times, it could not be more timely for those with a serious interest in political philosophy to become exposed to and absorbed in the work of the Russian thinker Alexander Dugin." -Colin D. Pearce, Clemson University

“Putin’s Brain,” "Putin’s Rasputin,” “The Most Dangerous Philosopher in the World.” Those are some of intriguing phrases used to describe the Russian philosopher, ideologue, and activist, Alexander Dugin, whose words seems to predict, and shape, Russia’s destiny on the world stage. Now, you can now go beyond the headlines into the heart of Dugin’s understanding of politics and philosophy, to grapple with his challenge to the West.

MICHAEL MILLERMAN is also the author of Beginning with Heidegger: Strauss, Rorty, Derrida, Dugin and the Philosophical Constitution of the Political. He holds a PhD in Political Science from the University of Toronto and teaches political philosophy at MillermanSchool.com.
