The Fourth Political Theory (Russian: Четвертая политическая теория, romanized: Chetvertaya Politicheskaya Teoriya) is a book by the Russian philosopher and political analyst Aleksandr Dugin, published in 2009. In the book, Dugin states that he is claiming the foundations for an entirely new political ideology, the fourth political theory, which integrates and supersedes liberal democracy, Marxism, and fascism.^[1] In this theory, the main subject of politics is not individualism, class struggle, or nation, but rather Dasein (existence itself).^[2]
