What, then, is this that we call existentialism? –– Jean-Paul Sartre, Existentialism Is a Humanism
Sartre formulates the basic formula of existentialism in these words: existence precedes essence. — Martin Heidegger, “What Is Humanism?”
Schools of philosophical thought are usually quite clear in their lines of demarcation. (more…)

INTRODUCCIÓN
Los Nacionalistas Blancos necesitamos abordar el Holocausto, como también necesitamos abordar la Cuestión Judía en general.

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.

Aleister Crowley jako politický teoretik
část 12.057 slov
English original here
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…)

It’s been 80 years since Ayn Rand’s novel The Fountainhead was published by Bobbs-Merrill, and almost exactly 37 years since I first read it. I was in college at the time and, although I did not realize it, searching for some source of meaning in my life. The previous year I had gone through a Satanist phase, occasioned by reading Anton LaVey’s Satanic Bible and failing to see the humor in it. That had been followed by a very, very brief Marxist phase. (more…)

4. The Ascetic Ideal
The third essay that makes up On the Genealogy of Morality is concerned with asceticism, as it has exhibited itself in religion and in philosophy. Nietzsche writes:
I can think of hardly anything that has sapped the health and racial strength of precisely the Europeans so destructively as [the ascetic ideal]; without any exaggeration we are entitled to call it the real catastrophe in the history of the health of Europeans. (more…)

1. Introduction: An Extremely Impious Book
Perplexed, as so many of us are, by the utter mindlessness and malevolence of today’s Leftists, I decided several years ago to undertake an ambitious project: developing a comprehensive theory of their psychology. I assembled an extensive reading list, including Dostoyevsky’s The Devils (which delighted me). When I reread Friedrich Nietzsche, however, I realized that I had almost nothing to add to what he had already said. (more…)
