    Fichte on Self-Consciousness as the Foundation of All Knowledge

    J. G. Fichte

    4,888 words

    1. Fichte’s Foundationalism

    J. G. Fichte holds that the human self has no intrinsic identity, aside from that which we create for it. He completely rejects the notion that our identity is in any way determined by nature. This is the modern “blank slate” theory pushed to a radical extreme. It is to Fichte that we must look if we wish to find the philosophical origins of current intellectual fashions such as “gender fluidity,” “social construction” of race and gender, and radical egalitarian claims about human perfectibility.

    Introduction to Vedanta, Part I
    The Isha Upanishad

    Lord Vishnu as Vishvarupa, illustrating the three realms: heaven (head to belly), earth (groin), and underworld (legs). Painting c. 1800-50, Jaipur.

    2,774 words

    Part II here, Part III here, Part IV here

    In this series of self-contained essays, I will offer an introduction to Vedanta, the philosophy of the Upanishads, through brief commentaries on individual Upanishads. These essays are geared toward individuals drawn to the path of Traditionalism – and especially the Left-Hand Path of Evolian Traditionalism.They place Vedanta in the context of Tradition. Further, they make clear the relevance of this path for those of us who are not just in revolt against the modern world, but who wish to live the ideal of “self-overcoming” –  an ideal for all ages.

    Mein Kodex, Fortsetzung

    Aristotle-at-university-of-thessaloniki-greece

    Aristoteles vor der Universität von Thessaloniki, Griechenland.

    3,006 words

    Übersetzt von Deep Roots

    English original here

    In einem früheren Essay teilte ich zehn Aphorismen aus „meinem Kodex“ mit. Falls euch dieser Essay entgangen ist, sage ich nur, daß ich vor ein paar Jahren beschloß, einen Kodex zu erstellen, um danach zu leben. Wie die meisten Dinge, die ich tue, verwandelte sich das in ein größeres Projekt, und ich sammelte schließlich Nuggets „praktischer Weisheit“ aus allen möglichen Quellen: Aristoteles, die Stoiker und Epikureer, die Eddas und Sagas, (more…)

    Peter Paul Rubens: „Die vier Philosophen“, mit einer Büste von Seneca, 1611-1612

    3,851 words

    Übersetzt von Deep Roots

    English original here

    Vor ein paar Jahren entschied ich, daß ich einen Kodex brauchte, um danach zu leben: eine Reihe von Prinzipien, die mein Leben leiten. Nun, es ist nicht so, als hätte ich nicht bereits einige Prinzipien entdeckt, die mir als richtig erschienen; es war nicht so, als ob ich im Blindflug unterwegs gewesen wäre, ohne irgendwelche Überzeugungen. Aber ich hatte mich nie hingesetzt und darüber nachgedacht, woraus genau mein „Kodex“ bestand, und das alles zu Papier gebracht. (more…)

    James O’Meara reviews TYR, vol. 4

    TYR Volume 4 for webview2,057 words

    TYR: Myth, Culture, Tradition, vol. 4
    Ed. Joshua Buckley and Michael Moynihan
    North Augusta, SC.: Ultra Press, 2014

    Finally receiving the new issue of TYR, one feels torn between wishing that each volume could appear more frequently, or at least more regularly, and on the other hand, appreciation for the time and attention devoted to bringing out such unparalleled collections of articles, interviews and reviews of books and music devoted to the “Myth – Culture – Tradition” of the North by Messrs. Buckley and Moynihan.[1]  (more…)

    The Spiritual Journey of Alejandro Jodorowsky

    Rochester Vt.: Inner Traditions, 2008

    1. Introduction

    Alejandro Jodorowsky is known to English-speaking audiences as the director and star of the cult film El Topo (1970). His other films (of which there are only a few) are lesser known, and his work outside of film is hardly known at all in America. (more…)

    My Code, Continued

    Aristotle-at-university-of-thessaloniki-greece2,926 words

    In an earlier essay, I shared ten aphorisms from “my code.” In case you missed that essay, I will just say that a few years ago I decided to establish a code to live by. Like most of the things I do, this turned into a major project and I wound up gathering nuggets of “practical knowledge” from all manner of sources: Aristotle, the Stoics and Epicureans, the Eddas and Sagas, medieval Chivalry, Japanese Bushido, Tyler Durden, G. I. Gurdjieff, and even Indian Shaivism. (more…)

    My Code

    Peter Paul Rubens, "The Four Philosophers," with a bust of Seneca, 1611-1612

    Peter Paul Rubens, “The Four Philosophers,” with a bust of Seneca, 1611-1612

    3,739 words

    German translation here

    A few years ago, I decided I needed a code to live by: a set of principles to guide my life. Now, it’s not as if I hadn’t already discovered some principles that seemed right to me; it wasn’t as if I was flying blind, without any convictions. But I had never sat down and reflected on exactly what my “code” consisted in, and put it all on paper. So, I decided one day to do just that.
