Main Article Content
Abstract
The article studies political doctrine of prof. Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira, who is one of the most prominent anti-revolutionary thinkers of the twentieth century, the founder of the International Network of Catholic traditionalists “The Society for Tradition, Family, Property”. The publication describes the main biographical facts about the thinker, lists his basic political works. Special attention is paid to his programme book “Revolution and Counter-Revolution”. This paper explores the philosophical foundations of the concept, reveals the influence of the social doctrine of the Catholic Church on the doctrine of de Oliveira about revolution and counter-revolution. In this paper we study characteristics of his understanding of the most important categories for his concept such as “tradition”, “property”, “family”, “order”, “revolution”, “counter-revolutionaries” and their relationship. Particular attention is given to the author’s conception of the dynamics of the revolutionary process in western society from the decline of the Middle Ages to the present.
