Slander?

I don't know to what extent Prawdin's work has a fascist strain or not, but a cursory review of his reputation suggests that over a long career he was regarded with some respect by solid, non-fascist scholars, though I do see his failure to provide footnotes noted. It is certainly not enough to say a Nazi praised one of his books and leave it at that. Fascism was syncretic and irrationally took bits and pieces from many thinkers, frequently perverting them. For example, Mussolini praised William James. AECwriter 17:06, 2 March 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aecwriter (talk • contribs)
