How time flies, said Fred with scintillating originality. When I was a young lad in rural Virginia in the mid-Sixties, the only thing digital was the local drive-in movie, known colloquially as the Finger Bowl. Now the world runneth over with bits and bytes and screens and all. Regarding which: (more…)

Obecna wersja tego eseju to przemowa, którą wygłosiłem w Seattle 14.10.2012. Dziękuję wszystkim, którzy byli obecni, za inspirującą dyskusję. Pierwotną wersją tego eseju był wykład otwierający zajęcia ze „Wstępu do filozofii”, które prowadziłem dla studentów studiów licencjackich w latach 1990-tych.

Tytuł tego eseju jest poniekąd mylący, ponieważ zamierzam dowodzić, że filozofia ma znaczenie dla wszelkiej ludzkiej aktywności, nie tylko dla polityki. (more…)

„Czy możemy się po prostu dogadać?” – Rodney King

Krótka książka Carla Schmitta Pojęcie polityczności (1932) jest jednym z najważniejszych dzieł dwudziestowiecznej filozofii politycznej[1].

Głównym celem Pojęcia polityczności jest obrona polityki przed utopijnymi próbami jej porzucenia. Anty-polityczny utopizm zawiera wszystkie formy liberalizmu, jak również międzynarodowego socjalizmu, globalnego kapitalizmu, anarchizmu oraz pacyfizmu: w skrócie – wszystkie polityczne filozofie, których celem jest uniwersalny porządek, w którym porzucono wszelki konflikt.

Bill Hopkins (May 5, 1928–May 6, 2011) was a Welsh novelist and critic who made his living dealing in art and antiques. Associated with the so-called Angry Young Men literary group of the 1950s, Hopkins was a thinker of the Right, notable for his friendships with Colin Wilson and Jonathan Bowden. Over the years, Counter-Currents has published a number of pieces by and about Hopkins, and we would welcome more recollections of his life and influence as well as reprints and analyses of his writings.

Pssst — white people! There is no shame in being white. There is only shame in ever thinking there was.

First, I want to thank the hundreds of people who have taken the Counter-Currents movement poll thus far. The initial results are fascinating. So fascinating, in fact, that I have extended the deadline until May 15th, because I would like more people to take part. There are still thousands of you out there we’d love to hear from.

Thus I am resending the invitation link to everyone who has not yet participated. (more…)

Brian Moore’s 1985 novel Black Robe thankfully slipped through the cracks of political correctness. It tells the story of French missionary Paul Laforgue, who travels to the Canadian wilderness in the early seventeenth century to bring Christianity to the indigenous Savages of North America. Yes, Moore capitalizes that term when describing the Indians because, according to his research, this is the very term (les Sauvages) the French used back then. Moore explains this in his author’s note, along with the circuitous manner in which he stumbled upon this fascinating subject (more…)

I made a resolution several months ago that I would, to the best of my abilities, write mostly about positive, constructive things. “Mostly,” because there will always be not-so-positive things worth writing about. But I would like my main focus to be on uplifting topics and ideas, not on those that drag us down. There’s plenty of that going around.

I believe in the power of thought, whether you understand it in a self-help sort of way (“manifest your intentions”), or, like me, in a spiritual sense. If you only ever define yourself by what you are against, not what you are for, you will never be able to create. (more…)

Aby zrealizować swoje cele polityczne, Północnoamerykańska Nowa Prawica musi zrozumieć właściwe relacje pomiędzy teorią a zmianą społeczną, metapolitkyą a polityką, teorią a praktyką. Musimy uniknąć dryfowania w kierunku bezczynnego intelektualizmu albo bezmyślnego – a zatem najprawdopodobniej przynoszącego skutki odwrotne od zamierzonych – aktywizmu. (more…)
