Baron Giulio Cesare Andrea Evola was born on May 19, 1898 in Rome. Along with René Guénon, Evola is one of the writers who has most influenced the metapolitical outlook and project of Counter-Currents, which is reflected in the fact that Evola is one of the most-tagged writers on this website. In commemoration of his birthday, I wish to draw your attention to the following resources. (more…)

London: The Palingenesis Project, 2016To commemorate the late Jonathan Bowden on what would have been his 61st birthday, Greg Johnson provided a thoughtful tribute essay, accompanied by a comprehensive aggregation of links to articles, speech transcripts, reviews, and more.

In 1897, Robert Lewis Dabney prophesied the triumph of women’s suffrage based on his estimate of the history and character of the only force opposed to it, Northern conservatism:
This is a party which never conserves anything. Its history has been that it demurs to each aggression of the progressive party, and aims to save its credit by a respectable amount of growling, but always acquiesces at last in the innovation. (more…)

Historická fakta obvykle bývají podstatně paradoxnější a zajímavější, než následně o nich vytvořené mýty.

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…)

Evola, Magical Idealism, & Western Metaphysics, Part Two
Part 2 of 4 (Part 1 here, Part 3 here)
4. The Principles of Magical Idealism
Evola’s critique of transcendental idealism, which we examined in the last installment, is insightful and interesting — though grand choruses of academic voices would be raised against every step of it, insisting that Evola has misunderstood idealism. (more…)
