<p>Regarded as the leading philosopher of British Fascism, Raven Thomson was greatly influenced by Oswald Spengler&#39;s cyclic theory of history, However, in Civilization As Divine Superman, Thomson rejects Spengler&#39;s pessimism on the future of the West, and suggests that culture-man has the option of willing an ongoing path of greatness, rather than succumbing to decay and death. Thomson believed this could be achieved by developing a social organism, where each fulfils a function as part of a totality.</p><p>When former Labour party eminence Sir Oswald Mosley founded the British Union of Fascists in 1932 to address such problems, Thomson saw in Mosley&#39;s version of Fascism a means of attaining such an organic society.</p><p>As a street corner orator and a philosopher, Raven Thomson was that rare breed that Oswald Mosley described as the 'though-deed man.' Interned in England during World War II, he was one of the first to resume association with Mosley after the war, and was a leading member of Mosley&#39;s Union Movement, advocating the new post-war doctrine of 'European Socialism.'</p><p>With this re-publication of Civilization As Divine Superman at a time when we have more reasons to accept Spengler&#39;s fatality of a globalised society, Raven Thomson offers us our last hope to avoid catastrophe.</p>
