„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.

The Leftists have an unending supply of tedious takes in regards to Charlottesville, the Confederacy, and January 6.

Stefan George’s Dead Poets Society

The chapters about Stefan George (1868-1933) and those of his inner circle are the most interesting and even-handed of the book. Unlike Nietzsche, George was not primarily a philosopher, but a poet. His verse, however, was deeply influenced by French symbolism, as well as Nietzsche’s muscular ideas that emphasized will, vigor, and a profound dislike of both bourgeois conservatism and egalitarian progressivism. Höfele claims that “the native idiom” of George’s poetry doesn’t translate well. (more…)

First, his idea of the state of exception can help describe how the United States Constitution was rewritten in the Civil Rights era. And secondly, his description of the sovereign and of political theology explain in part why American conservatism has been a spectacular failure. (more…)

V mezidobí od konce 1. světové války do nastolení národně socialistického režimu se z politické, hospodářské a sociální krize, do níž se Německo následkem porážky ve válce propadlo, zrodilo hnutí, jež vešlo ve známost jako „konzervativní revoluce“, případně „revolučně konzervativní hnutí“, jehož příslušníci jsou označováni jako „konzervativní revolucionáři“ či „neokonzervativci“.

Samotný termín „konzervativní revoluce“ se masověji rozšířil hlavně díky projevu slavného básníka, katolického kulturního konzervativce a monarchisty Huga von Hofmannsthala z roku 1927. (more…)

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? — Jeremiah 17:9

Unde malum? Where does evil come from? I first pondered that question as a child, a childhood of full immersion in a fundamentalist, Baptist Weltanschauung. Evil’s origin and its persistence in the world was the central motif in the narrative of the Great Rebellion, the failure of Angel Lucifer’s insurrection against God. The origin of evil came from a titanic battle of supernatural beings. (more…)
