Ronald Beiner
Radical Right Ideologues in the Age of Trump: Heralds of Nihilism
New York: Routledge, 2026
Ronald Beiner and I go way back. In 2018, Beiner published Dangerous Minds: Nietzsche, Heidegger, and the Return of the Far Right, which I reviewed at Counter-Currents.[1] Beiner’s book warns academics that it is dangerous to teach Nietzsche and Heidegger because they are profoundly illiberal thinkers who will corrupt the youth. As exhibits, he points to such Right-wing luminaries as Richard Spencer and Alexander Dugin. (more…)

W.W. Norton & Company, 2025
Sir Halford Mackinder (1861 – 1947) was a British Member of Parliament and senior civil servant who had a solid career, but never achieved the fame or recognition in his lifetime that he probably should have.

Marlène Laruelle

Interview by Maxime Le Nagard for Front Populaire, translation by Greg Johnson
Front Populaire: You know Alexander Dugin. Can you explain to us who he is, especially on an intellectual level? What are his ideas, his philosophical and political influences, etc.?
