The Symposium

She is a Socialist only insofar as she is anti-capitalist, a Marxist only insofar as she despises meritocracy, and a Freudian only insofar as she feels constrained by her sexuality. The irony of this negative identity is that it could very well describe a Fascist just as easily as a Marxist-Leninist Socialist, but Linnet clings to specific writers…

Mill’s concept of the value of pleasure is much closer to Epicurus’ than it is to Nagel’s, and he continues to say “the accusation supposes human beings to be capable of no pleasures except those of which swine are capable. If this supposition were true ... the rule of life which is good enough for the one would be good enough for the other.”

The modern scientific "objective" perception is entirely concerned with phenomena, like a researcher who experiences life entirely through microscope slides, failing to look at the beautiful world surrounding him, and then stubbornly dictates that his is the only true way of knowing and everything existing outside of those few inches of glass is a…

Philosophy students from SOAS (School of Oriental and African Studies) University of London, have demanded their syllabus comprise a majority of Asian and African philosophers.  In an attempt to ‘address the structural and epistemological legacy of colonialism’, they have shown themselves to be completely ignorant of the history and indeed the…

When you think of neocons, you probably think of mighty words like ‘warmonger’, ‘hawkish’ – something which reflects their aggressive foreign policy. But don’t mistake their principles for the strong foundations of Western Civilization. The neocons are not the spiritual descendants of the European warrior-explorers, from the aristocracies of the…

The world, it can be said, began anew with the Resurrection. Man, whose true nature had been disfigured after the Fall that had taken place in Eden, has now been restored. History now becomes sacred history-- what the Church would call the Sixth Age of the World. Just as when we participate in the Liturgy, surrounded by the icons of saints and…

As a right-libertarian who sympathizes strongly with the alt-right and has written for numerous alt-right sites, I’m getting pretty tired of being called a right-SJW.  Milo Yiannopolis was but the latest alt-light figure to speak in such terms against identitarianism. The same illogical argumentation has been cancerously spreading across the…

If Facebook likes and retweets are one-night stands, disposable and uncomplicated stories that are quickly replaced by new, more exciting counterparts—then books are long relationships that make a lasting imprint. It takes a while before you really get to know the other party, and when it’s over you may feel empty but also happy that you found each…

The terrific film released in May 2005 to movie theatres nationwide was only a part of the great vision director Ridley Scott had for this incredible story. The director’s cut, released on DVD in 2007, presents Scott’s epic the way it was meant to be seen. Orlando Bloom stars as Balian de Ibelin, as he travels to Jerusalem during the Crusades to…

We need to understand that this is it, there is no going back, no running away. Life is a last stand and the cavalry isn't coming around the hill to save us. Our duty is to hold on to the lost position, without hope of rescue or thought of surrender.

There’s no coincidence that Baron Julius Evola once said, looking Dragos in the eyes: “You will renew the Roman Idea”.

The youth of today are quite possibly the most decried and despised generation in history. Millennials are regarded as a selfish, entitled generation who believe in neither country, nor God. Despite being the supposedly most educated, wealthy and free human beings to have ever lived, they are also some of the unhappiest and most chronically ill –…
