Thinkers of the New Left
''Thinkers of the New Left'' is a 1985 book by the English philosopher Roger Scruton. It focuses on the New Left, which Scruton analyses and criticises. The book concentrates on 14 representatives of the movement: E. P. Thompson, Ronald Dworkin, Michel Foucault, R. D. Laing, Raymond Williams, Rudolf Bahro, Antonio Gramsci, Louis Althusser, Immanuel Wallerstein, Jürgen Habermas, Perry Anderson, György Lukács, John Kenneth Galbraith and Jean-Paul Sartre.〔Scruton, Roger. ''Thinkers of the New Left''. Longman Group Limited, 1985, pp. 10–176.〕 A revised and extended version of the book was published in 2015 as ''Fools, Frauds and Firebrands: Thinkers of the New Left''. Among those added to the extended version are the Marxist historian Eric Hobsbawm and the Lacanian philosopher Slavoj Žižek.
According to Scruton, he was motivated to write the book by his travels in communist Eastern Europe, and by his frustration with Western European scholars who did not acknowledge the situation in these countries.〔
==Reception==
The book received considerable negative response from the political left in Britain and this had consequences for Scruton's career. In retrospection, Scruton described it as "the beginning of the end of my academic career".〔
''Publishers Weekly'' reviewed the revised version in 2015 and described it as "a sharp-edged, provocative critique of leading leftist thinkers since the mid-20th century". The critic wrote: "This complex and erudite study is neither an easy read nor a reactionary screed. The overly zippy, alliterative new title does not indicate the depth or seriousness of the analysis." ''Kirkus Reviews'' wrote the same year: "Refreshingly, Scruton does not mince words, exposing the wooden abstractions and frequent absurdities of these untouchables, especially with regard to the manipulation of language. Caustic, highly recherché, and simply great fun to read for the questing intellectual soul."
