Despite the 1970s and 1980s being seen as an era of a ‘counter-revolution’ and of a defeat of the spirit of 1960s, these decades could actually be understood as a time when some of the narratives of the New Left gained ground in the mainstream. The focus in this chapter is on the rise of environmentalism and its fellow-travelling with the New Left, and the gradual increase in popularity of the philosophical trend known as ‘post-modernism’; what they both share in common is that they build upon the narratives that became popular in the 1960s, questioning both materialism and instrumental reason. The case study examined is the German Green Party. |
