Presents a cognitive analysis of the function of biological/medical metaphors in National Socialist racist ideology and their background in historical traditions of Western political theory. This book argues that the metaphor of the German nation as a body that needed to be rescued from a deadly poison must be viewed as the conceptual basis.
