A Critique of Alain de Benoist

John Law

6,534 words

Introduction

This essay examines Alain de Benoist’s book Beyond Human Rights, translated into English in 2011 by Arktos, originally published in French in 2004.

The Landmark Herodotus: The Histories Edited by Robert B. Strassler
New York: Pantheon, 2007

Let us hope there is still a fit audience out there for it—men, that is, capable of learning what Herodotus has to teach.
