Was wir gleich sagen werden, führt uns nicht weit weg vom Thema der NRH, das wir Deutschland widmen, einer Nation, die seit jeher zu Europa gehört und seine Tradition genährt hat. Der Vorwand wurde mir von Péroncel-Hugoz geboten, der während einer langen Karriere großer Reporter bei «Le Monde» war und heute Kolumnist unserer Revue ist. Er berichtet mir von einer Aussage Jean-Paul Sartres über Ernst Jünger: «Ich hasse ihn nicht als Deutschen, sondern als Aristokraten …». (more…)

If I could choose to be anyone from the twentieth century, I would not hesitate for a moment to pick Ernst Jünger.
The man did just about everything it was possible to do in his time, and stretched the limits of what one individual can accomplish in a lifetime to their breaking point. His incredible lifespan alone (he died a month shy of his 103rd birthday) spanned the Kaiserreich, the German Revolution, the Weimar Republic, the Third Reich, the Federal Republic of Germany, and finally, reunited Germany in his final decade — and was active in all of them.

As Valentine’s Day approached, I decided that I should perhaps commit myself to the insane asylum that is modern technological courtship. I knew it would be painful and time-consuming, but this year I decided to devote more effort to finding my own modern-day Brünhilde. (more…)

Part 3 of 3 (Part 1 here, Part 2 here)
Chapter Nine, “Europe and the Indo-Europeans,” addresses another required subject: the origins and development of the white race and its civilizations. These discussions, mixing science (genomes), soft science (anthropology), and “esoteric” science (Evola, again), usually make me want to lie down and take a nap — wake me when the Funnelbeaker Farmers annihilate the Corded Ware culture — but I think I now have the hang of this Indo-European business — the various ways the genetics of three peoples and the resulting cultures (male initiation, warrior bands, and caste systems) have intertwined in our history — thanks to The Golden One!

Any power struggle is preceded by a verification of images and iconoclasm. This is why we need poets — they initiate the overthrow, even that of titans. — Ernst Jünger, The Forest Passage
Generations of dissident nationalists and their work have cultivated a thriving philosophical and intellectual ecosystem both online and in print. The Internet in particular has provided fertile terrain for countless blogs, vlogs, podcasts, and more. (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…)

Jméno Ernsta Jüngera si postupně získává takřka celoevropskou proslulost. Význam tohoto spisovatele coby filozofa se však pojí především s raným obdobím jeho života i tvorby. Tento veterán 1. světové války se po jejím skončení etabloval jako mluvčí generace, už ve své době označované za generaci „vyhořelou“. Jeho ideje nemají původ v abstraktních, za psacím stolem spřádaných spekulací, ale v prožité hrdinské zkušenosti, odkud postupně dospěly až k problému smyslu lidské bytosti ve věku nihilismu a všemocné techniky. Jeho ústředními pojmy jsou „heroický realismus“ a etika „absolutní osoby“. (more…)

The Peace
Singapore: Rogue Scholar Press, 2022
Ernst Jünger is representative of the German twentieth century in many ways; his books and essays are often visceral, violent, brutal, and profound. The First World War shaped much of his writing. Jünger articulated the new heroics of soldiers dealing stoically with the frightful carnage wrought by technology and envisioned a totalitarian future characterized by obedience beyond question.
