Forty thinkers from different countries participated, including Hannah Arendt and Else Frenkel-Brunswik. The conference aimed to investigate the nature, origin, strengths and weaknesses of modern totalitarian dictatorships. The participants communicated different \u0026ndash; sometimes completely diametrical \u0026ndash; opinions, and\u0026nbsp;controversy was not shunned. An important discussion, in which also the editor of the conference proceedings, Carl J. Friedrich, participated, was the question of whether modern totalitarianism could be equated with older forms of tyranny \u0026ndash; or should rather be treated as historically unique. In \u0026#39;\u003cem\u003eEnvironmental Controls and the Impoverishment of Thought\u003c/em\u003e\u0026#39;, Frenkel-Brunswik takes a closer look at anti-intellectual tendencies and the attitude towards science in Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn maart 1953 vond aan de American Academy of Arts and Sciences in Boston een belangrijke conferentie over totalitarisme plaats. Veertig denkers uit verschillende landen namen deel, waaronder Hannah Arendt en Else Frenkel-Brunswik. De conferentie had als doel om de aard, de oorsprong, de sterktes en de zwaktes van moderne totalitaire dictaturen te onderzoeken. De deelnemers ventileerden er andere en soms zelfs totaal tegengestelde meningen en ook de controverse werd niet geschuwd. Een belangrijke discussie waar onder andere Carl J. Friedrich, editor van de publicatie, zich in mengde was de vraag of het moderne totalitarisme gelijkgesteld kon worden aan oudere vormen van tirannie, of behandeld moest worden als historisch uniek.
