The Trial of Socrates:
The Presocratic Background to Aristophanes’ Clouds, Part 1

Greg Johnson

Thales, Union Station, Washington, D.C.

6,614 words

Author’s Note:

The following text is a transcript by V. S. of a lecture on the presocratic background of Aristophanes’ Clouds. I have edited this transcript to remove excessive wordiness, and I have added section headings and transitions. I found it sobering to read this transcript, for I discovered just how widely the written and spoken word vary, and how flabby my lectures are compared to my writings.

Of Science & Technics, Religion, & Values

Ted Sallis

William Blake, “Isaac Newton,” 1795

1,527 words

Science is not meant to be a religion or a worldview, although the scientific outlook does influence one’s worldview, which is why so many scientists are atheists. The scientific outlook is empirical, depends on evidence and experiment, and is hostile to the idea of “faith” – Read more …

Matt Parrott

1,834 words The Internet: Where liberal fantasies go to die

Ted Sallis

L’Occident et ses peuples peuvent-ils être sauvés ? Et que faudra-t-il pour cela – en particulier si nous recherchons une solution à long terme plutôt qu’une dernière digue « provisoire » ?

Futuro do Ocidente

Pode o Ocidente e seus povos serem salvos? E o que será preciso para isso – particularmente se nós estamos preocupados com uma solução a longo prazo ao invés de um mero “quebra-molas”?

Why I Write

Richard Hoste

1,190 words

The Overman High Culture:
Future of the West

Ted Sallis

3,313 words

Translations: French, Portuguese

Can the West and its peoples be saved? And what will this take–particularly if we are concerned with a long-term solution rather than a last ditch “stop gap?” Can a new High Culture of the West arise to secure the existence of the peoples of the West for an extended time frame? What characteristics should such a new culture have?
