Another Dyslexic Demonstrator

677 words

“Black lives matter,” goes the sign held by those demonstrating the entirely justified killing of giant wannabe thug Michael Brown. Yes, black lives matter, except when it comes to the major cause of deaths by violent crime among blacks: blacks themselves. Read more …

Remembering Ezra Pound:
October 30, 1885 to November 1, 1972

Greg Johnson

“A slave is one who waits for someone else to free him.” — Ezra Pound

One of the ongoing projects of the North American New Right is the recovery of our tradition. One does not have to go too far back before one discovers that every great European thinker and artist is a “Right Wing extremist” by today’s standards.

What is even more remarkable is the number of great 20th century figures who belong in our camp as well. Read more …

Ur-fascism

Organon tou Ontos

Roman Lictor, from the Cancelleria Reliefs; the fasces is carried on the shoulder.

2,441 words

The following amplifies the concept of ur-fascism advanced by Umberto Eco.

Ur-fascism is both unity and multiplicity, like life itself: Unity in its embodiment of a single phenomenon and multiplicity because of the diversity and disparity within that phenomenon. “Ur” means primal or primordial: For example, in the form of Heidegger’s “ur-grund” (“primal ground”) or ur-volk (“primeval people”) as well as Goethe’s “ur-phenomenon” (“archetypal pattern”).

“Fascism” comes from the Latin, fasces, meaning “bundle”: politically, a people unified. Read more …

Leo Yankevich

“The dead came back from Jerusalem,

—Carl Jung, Seven Sermons to the Dead, Sermon I, 1916

Beneath a leaden sky:
street merchants peddling wares,
old harlots exposing breasts,
grimaces and stares,
rats, flies and other pests.

Little Gidding

Christopher Pankhurst

T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot’s Four Quartets can be considered amongst the greatest English poetry of the 20th century, and arguably amongst the greatest English poetry ever. The four poems meditate repetitively and brilliantly on man’s relationship to time and eternity, and posit a religious solution to the problem of man’s need for meaning in the face of death.

Heidegger’s Question Beyond Being

Greg Johnson

6,362 words

Author’s Note:

The following text was written 21 years ago when I was in graduate school. I think it is a useful synthesis of the material available at the time, but I make no claims to originality. I tried to remove the kind of preciousness and pedantry that one finds in graduate student papers, but given the subject matter, what remains is necessarily somewhat densely written.

Everybody knows that Martin Heidegger was deeply interested in “Being,” indeed obsessed with it. Read more …
