We now resume our review of one of the newer works of political theory. The point is not to critique it, but rather to see how its analyses and prescriptions expand or improve on similar projects based solely on Tradition. In The Fourth Political Theory, Alexander Dugin defines the essence … Continue reading
I was happy to see that you are completely in agreement with everything that I wrote in my last book; furthermore, the contrary would have really astonished me. The coincidences that you pointed out to me with the things that you yourself had written earlier are actually very remarkable; these agreements are certainly not the result of chance (besides which, I don’t believe at all).

From Chapter II, “Principles”,La Force, of Mes Idées Politique, by Charles Maurras. To the principle of Truth, Mr. Maurras adds the principle of Force, without which the former is impotent. Yet, Force must be guided by sound judgment. There are despotic weaknesses, malicious stupidities, and losers worthy of being so, … Continue reading
These are some reflections on what chaos means in the context of mathematics and physics. Chaos must be understood as the absence, or privation, of order, not as the opposite of order in any active sense. Continue reading

The signposts raised up on the road don’t show their direction in … Continue reading
There are five conditions which corporeal existence is subject to: space, time, matter, form, and life. A body is a material form living in time and space. Continue reading
Metaphysics is an important element of all Traditions. By that we mean an exact science, as precise as mathematics, and as such, it is neither a speculative system nor a matter for philosophical debate. The fundamental tenet of metaphysics is that there are principles that determine or explain the hidden … Continue reading
What he takes for strength and lucidity, to our eyes impairs the value of too extensive knowledge. We are frightened that in a hundred small tidy pages, he claims to reveal the ultimate knowledge on the swastika, Aum and Manu, the luz and the Shekinah, the Graal, the Mages, and the Old Man of the Mountain, and enigmas without number. Even if he divines something correct here or there, what does the result matter without demonstration? And the proof that there is only one symbolic among the diversity of religions and philosophies?
