Abstract
This essay presents a synthetic account of the author's interpretation of fascism as a modern, nationalist, revolutionary, anti‐liberal and anti‐Marxist phenomenon that he has elaborated on the basis both of original research and of an innovative redefinition of the concepts of totalitarianism and political religion and their interrelationship. Having demonstrated the incoherence of some negative critiques that have given a distorted account of this theory, it engages with the principal constructive criticisms that have been made of it. This leads to further clarification and refinement of the thesis that totalitarianism constitutes one, but not the sole, expression of the sacralisation of politics in the age of modernity.
