    Jonathan Bowden’s Reactionary Modernism

    You can pre-order Jonathan Bowden’s Reactionary Modernism here.

    1,049 words

    In my writing for Counter-Currents, I’ve called for the formation of a dissident high culture. At the time of writing, there is only a smattering of cultural institutions which are explicitly Dissident Right, which means that the future of dissident high culture is whatever we make it. The future is a vast empty space which we have been tasked with filling.

    But the past of dissident high culture is not so empty. No, it is rather crowded over at the Restaurant de la Tour Eiffel. Indeed, you could say that the avant-garde of the past was decisively reactionary. (more…)

    Wyndham Lewis’ Tarr

    1,834 words

    Finally getting to Kerry Bolton’s Artist of the Right was an honest realization of how little I knew of the history of dissident, Right-wing art and literature. One of the artists I was most intrigued by was Wyndham Lewis, and particularly his first novel, Tarr. Though it was originally published in 1918 and later revised in 1928, what makes this piece of literature as timeless and as relevant as ever is its inclusion of not only a place – Paris –, but an entire ideology and way of life as a main character in the story.

    Fichte as Avatar of the Metaphysics of Presence

    6,383 words

    1. Introduction: Remind me, why Fichte?

    Readers have been asking me why I am devoting multiple essays to J. G. Fichte, an exceedingly difficult and seldom-read German Idealist born in 1762. The simple answer is that these essays are a continuation of my series on Heidegger’s “history of metaphysics.” Having devoted several essays to Kant, I am continuing with Fichte, then will move on to Schelling and Hegel, and then, finally, to Nietzsche.

    Χάιντεγγερ εναντίον Παραδοσιοκρατών

    All the rage in L.A.

    English original here

    Μετάφραση: Λόενγκριν

    1. Εισαγωγή

    Οι ανήκοντες στη Νέα Δεξιά συνδέονται εν μέρει μέσω κοινών πνευματικών ενδιαφερόντων. Στον κατάλογό μου αυτών των ενδιαφερόντων θα κατέτασσα σε υψηλή θέση τα έργα του Μάρτιν Χάιντεγγερ  και εκείνα της Παραδοσιοκρατικής [1] [2] σχολής , ειδικά του Ρενέ Γκενόν και του Ιουλίου Έβολα. Η δική μου δουλειά επηρεάστηκε σε μεγάλο βαθμό τόσο από τον Χάιντεγγερ όσο και από την Παραδοσιοκρατία. (more…)

    Remembering T. S. Eliot:
    September 26, 1888–January 4, 1965

    231 words

    Thomas Stearns Eliot was one of the 20th century’s most influential poets, as well as an essayist, literary critic, playwright, and publisher. He won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1948. Born in St. Louis, Missouri, from old New England stock, Eliot emigrated to England in 1914 and was naturalized as a British subject in 1927.

    A Yankee Poet in Greenwich Village

    E. E. Cummings

    7,037 words

    At the time of his death in 1962, modernist writer E. E. Cummings was the second most widely read poet in the United States after Robert Frost. William Carlos Williams ranked Cummings and Ezra Pound as “beyond doubt the two most distinguished” contemporary American poets. Pound titled his own global selection of poetry of various ages and cultures Confucius to Cummings: An Anthology of Poetry (1964).  (more…)

    Praise to Apollo, Dance of Dionysus:
    Death & the Dawn in Russian Ballet

    Danses de Jadis (Dances in Times Past), George Barbier, 1921

    6,629 words

    This is an old and very cruel god . . .
    We will endure;
    We will try not to wince . . .
    If indeed it is for your sakes,
    If we perish or moan in torture,
    Or stagger under sordid burdens
    That you may live —
    Then we can endure . . .
    Without utter bitterness.
    But, O thou old and very cruel god,
    Take, if thou canst, this bitter cup from us. [1]

    Heidegger’s History of Metaphysics, Part One:
    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

    Greek version here

    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…)

    White “Civil Wars”:

    Johann Peter Krafft, The Siege of Szigetvár, 1825.

    5,125 words

    The bad news is the bad news — the stories we’ve seen and heard in the past few months, years, decades that all keep warning us of more to come. The good news is that these times of transition provide us with opportunities for clarity and fresh perspectives on historical and social phenomena (more…)

    Notre Dame des Fascistes,

    Part 1, Part 2

    All this anti-Masonry and TradCath stuff; there was something familiar with all this, until at some point I exclaimed again, “You’ve seen these films before, haven’t you, my man!” It’s Baron Evola’s doppelganger!

    Although to be honest, it may have been Will herself who clued me in. (more…)
