Thelemský stát
Podoba thelemské vlády je do jisté míry nastíněna v Knize zákona jako svébytná forma korporativismu: „Stav mnohosti ať je spoután a mějte jej v ohavnosti: ty nemáš jiného práva, než konat svoji vůli“. 1] V protikladu k anarchistickým či nihilistickým výkladům thelemské zásady „konej svou vůli“ však Crowley definoval thelemský stát jako dobrovolné sdružení pro blaho celku.

René Guénon was born on November 15, 1886. Along with Julius Evola, Guénon was one of the leading figures in the Traditionalist school, which has deeply influenced my own outlook and the metapolitical mission and editorial agenda of Counter-Currents Publishing and North American New Right. (For a sense of my differences with Guénon, see my lecture on “Vico and the New Right.”)

Aleister Crowley (1875–1947), který sám sebe rád nazýval „Velkou bestií 666“, dodnes zůstává relevantní postavou v subkultuře okultismu i současné populární kultuře. Zatímco ho někteří oslavují jako filozofa, mága a proroka, pro jiné je především zvráceným egomaniakem. Povětšinou je ale zájem o Crowleyho osobu motivován poněkud morbidním zájmem a jeho celkovou excentričností. (more…)

Savitri Devi was a philosopher, a religious thinker, and a tireless polemicist and activist for the causes of animal rights, European pagan revivalism, Hindu nationalism, German National Socialism, and — after the Second World War — pan-European racial nationalism. She also sought to found a religion, Esoteric Hitlerism, fusing National Socialism with the Traditionalism of René Guénon and Julius Evola. All told, she was one of the most extraordinary personalities of the 20th century. (more…)

We have no standards to judge what are “good” and “bad” forms of being a human, since there are no subjects existing outside the contingencies of historical time and power relationships. All we can do is engage in “discourse analysis” so as to uncover existing hierarchies by analyzing the fields of knowledge through which they are legitimated. We can engage in questioning how we came to be the “humans” we think we are, such as how we came to think that we have natural rights to life, liberty, and happiness, but such a questioning can only show us how our current way of being human is historically contingent and thus changeable.

The following is the text of a talk that was given at the recent Counter-Currents Spring Retreat. The video can be seen here, or below.
Cyan asked me to speak on this topic, and before I begin, I just want to clarify something, because when it comes to these matters I’m overly pedantic. But historically speaking, ethnonationalism and religion don’t go together. This is because the nation-state itself, which was born out of either the French Revolution or the Second English Civil War, depending on who you ask, has always been secular and opposed to any mixing of politics and religion.

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…)

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…)
