Pagan Philosophers and Church Fathers

Posted on 2009-12-23 by Cologero

The precise nature and even, in some senses, the width of the chasm which separated the [Pagan and Christian] religions can easily be mistaken if we take our ideas solely from political or ecclesiastical histories: still more, if we take them from more popular sources. Cultured people on both sides … Continue reading →

All Soul’s Day

Posted on 2009-11-01 by Cologero

Around the second of November, I would like to avoid naming here the living, or rather to be concerned with them only insofar as they themselves are concerned with men who had already departed from life. A melancholy memory is not a simple dream, and nothing deep down is more … Continue reading →

Evolution and the Order of Being

Posted on 2009-10-31 by Cologero

The fact the higher forms and types are manifested or revealed following the inferior ones by no means proves that they are the product or creation of the inferior realm. The order of being is not identical to the order of phenomena. The higher, more positive and fuller types and … Continue reading →

Woman is the bearer of the sex-element

Posted on 2009-10-24 by Cologero

Woman is the bearer of the sex-element in this world. In man sex is more differentiated and specialized: in woman it is diffused through the whole tissue of the organism, through the whole structure of the soul. In man sexual attraction demands more immediate satisfaction than in woman, but he … Continue reading →

Tao and Logos

My teachings are very easy to understand and to practice; yet there is no one in the world who is able either to understand or to practice them. This is because my teachings have an originating principle and arise from an integrated system. This is not understood, so I am unknown. ~ Lao Tzu Continue reading →

The Flowering of European Civilisation

Posted on 2009-10-14 by Cologero

To the profound comprehension of this law of the intellectual generation of ideas, are due the marvels of Catholic civilisation. To that wonderful civilisation is due all that we admire and all that we see. Its theologians, even considered humanly, put to the blush modern and ancient philosophers; her doctors … Continue reading →

Roots of Western Civilisation

Posted on 2009-10-13 by Cologero

Among the many would-be “saviours” of Western civilisation, there are precious few who know exactly what they are supposed to preserve. For example, many prefer the values of the Enlightenment and praise scientific discovery; while that may be, in a restricted sense, one of the flowers, it is hardly the … Continue reading →

Stages of Man

Posted on 2009-10-03 by Aeneas

A further stage can be reached when the “I” transcends its identity as a man simpliciter. This “I” knows itself as “I” and understands that the human state is just one of its possible states of being. Continue reading →

To Become a Man

Posted on 2009-10-01 by Aeneas

To become a man at once is impossible. One has to mould oneself into a man. Here discipline is required. But it is precisely this relentless self-discipline that our present-day thinkers reject. Now it is in the relentless self-discipline and uninterrupted work on one’s self that our citizen could reveal … Continue reading →
