Erik Lehnert

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Erik Lehnert (born August 2, 1975 in Berlin ) is a German philosopher and publicist . Since 2008 he has been managing director of the new right Institute for State Policy (IfS).

Life

Lehnert grew up in the GDR . According to his own statements, his mother was active in Christian peace circles and in 1995 married the GDR dissident Rudolf Bahro . Lehnert states that he found freedom through Ernst Jünger's philosopher to the works of the Conservative Revolution and the neo-right circles around the weekly newspaper Junge Freiheit . At school he already belonged to a small group that he describes as "the right wing".

Lehnert studied philosophy , history as well as prehistory and early history at the Humboldt University in Berlin ( Magister Artium 2001) and was then a DFG scholarship holder at the Otto Friedrich University in Bamberg . In 2006 he was at Volker Gerhardt and Gerd Irrlitz at the Humboldt University of Berlin with a thesis on Karl Jaspers and philosophical anthropology to Dr. phil. PhD .

He worked as a lecturer at Edition Antaios and as editor of the magazine Sezession . Since 2008 he has been managing director of the new right Institute for State Policy (IfS).

In an interview in 2016, Lehnert affirmed that parties are based on their internal logic and have an anti-democratic structure. True democracy must aim at “breaking the power of the parties”. In 2017, however, with a view to the AfD, he stated that for the time being there was no other choice than to “send a quasi-party critical party into the race in order to ease party rule in this way”.

His controversially discussed article in the MarineForum , a trade journal of the Navy Officers' Association, in which he complained about the acceptance of women in combat units of the Bundeswehr and described the Bundeswehr as an "experimental field of an ideology of equality" and "feminization" was publicly noticed . This ideology was responsible for the fatal accident of a female cadet on the Gorch Fock in November 2010.

Lehnert works in the Bundestag office of the AfD member Harald Weyel and as secretary on the board of the Desiderius Erasmus Foundation .
