    Remembering Mr. Gurdjieff
    (January 13, 1866/1872/1877–October 24, 1949)

    Mr. Gurdjieff

    7,589 words

    George Ivanovich Gurdjieff was born on this day in 1866, 1872, or 1877 — depending on whom you ask. [1] Much else about his biography is equally uncertain. We do know that his father was Greek, his mother Armenian, and that he was born in Alexandropol which was then part of the Russian Empire (it is now in Armenia and is called Gyumri). (more…)

    Heidegger’s History of Metaphysics, Part 1:
    Platonism

    Plato and Aristotle

    Plato and Aristotle, detail from Raphael’s The School of Athens, 1510-1511.

    8,701 words

    1. Introduction

    In my essay “Heidegger Against the Traditionalists,” I sketched a critique of Guénon and Evola from a Heideggerian perspective. Although I raised several objections to Traditionalism, the crucial one was this: Guénon and Evola are thoroughly (and uncritically) invested in the Western metaphysical tradition.  According to Heidegger, however, it is precisely the Western metaphysical tradition that is responsible for all the modern ills decried by the Traditionalists.

    Heidegger Against the Traditionalists

    6,918 words

    1. Introduction

    Those on the New Right are bound together partly by shared intellectual interests. Ranking very high indeed on any list of those interests would be the works of Martin Heidegger and those of the Traditionalist [1] school, especially René Guénon and Julius Evola. My own work has been heavily influenced by both Heidegger and Traditionalism. (more…)

    Rome’s The Lone Furrow

    1,182 words

    Rome is the project of Luxembourgish multi-instrumentalist Jerome Reuter. Genre-wise, one could call Rome “neofolk,” if one assumes that “neofolk” as a genre simply describes reedy guitars and deliberately vague attempts at mysticism. That describes the music of Rome to a T, a project that attempts to synthesize the often-complicated (more…)

    Guide to Kulchur, Episode 12
    Andrei Tarkovsky’s Stalker

    159 words / 1:25:24

    In the latest installment of Guide to Kulchur, Fróði Midjord and John Morgan discuss Andrei Tarkovsky’s Russian science fiction classic, Stalker, which is about three men living in an industrial wasteland who venture into a Zone that was left on Earth by mysterious extraterrestrials, a wilderness filled with deadly traps, at the center of which is a room that grants the innermost desires of anyone who enters. The duo discuss the film both as an allegory of a spiritual quest as well as an indictment of modernity. (more…)

    Percy Grainger:
    Artist of the Right

    Percy Grainger, 1882–1961

    2,413 words

    Percy Grainger was a polymath: a pianist, composer, conductor, ethnomusicologist, inventor, artist, polyglot, and man of letters. He was one of the most celebrated pianist-composers of the early twentieth century. His work and writings reflect a worldview marked by both racial consciousness and an opposition to modernity that coexisted alongside radical artistic modernism.  (more…)

    Nicolás Gómez Dávila, Unknown Reactionary

    There are two purposes for this article. The first is to introduce the ideas of Nicolás Gómez Dávila to the English-speaking American and European Right. The second is to motivate a more profound approach to his works, in their original Spanish editions and in Italian and German translations. (Sadly, the English translation is deficient.)

    Le thème dominant dans la plus grande partie de l’art et de la littérature produits pendant la première moitié du XXe siècle fut l’aliénation. Les auteurs parlaient de l’« âge de l’angoisse ». Ils décriaient le règne matérialiste de la « quantité sur la qualité », l’absence de toute valeur spirituelle significative, la rupture des relations entre les sexes, la dévastation de l’environnement, la mécanisation et la spécialisation excessive de la vie urbaine, et l’impérialisme de la mono-culture collective, avec ses « valeurs » vulgaires du progrès et de l’efficacité.

    Gudrun Brangwen, the Modern Woman

    Gerald Crich is only one half of Lawrence’s portrait of the “modern individual.” The other half is Gudrun Brangwen. Of course, Birkin and Ursula are modern individuals, though in a different sense. The latter couple are both seeking some fulfilling way to live in, or in spite of, the modern world. (more…)

    Interestingly, perhaps the clearest parallels to Gerald Crich’s philosophy of life, and Lawrence’s treatment of it, are two thinkers Lawrence knew nothing about when he wrote Women in Love: Oswald Spengler and Ernst Jünger, both of whom were strongly influenced by Nietzsche.

    D. H. Lawrence’s greatest novel is also his most anti-modern. Written between April and October of 1916 in Cornwall, during some of the darkest days of the First World War, Women in Love was conceived as a sequel to The Rainbow. (Both novels were brilliantly filmed by Ken Russell.) (more…)
