René Guénon was born on November 15, 1886.

(For a sense of my differences with Guénon, see my lecture on “Vico and the New Right.”)

“A slave is one who waits for someone else to free him.” — Ezra Pound
One of the ongoing projects of the North American New Right is the recovery of our tradition. One does not have to go too far back before one discovers that every great European thinker and artist is a “Right Wing extremist” by today’s standards.
