Transcendence of Being: The Life and Philosophy of Martin Heidegger

Price: 23 EUROS

BORN into a Catholic family in the German town of Meßkirch, Baden-Württemberg, Martin Heidegger (1889–1976) became arguably the greatest philosopher of the twentieth century. In his 1927 opus, Being and Time, Heidegger – who was strongly influenced by fellow countrymen Friedrich Hölderlin and Friedrich Nietzsche – rejects the narrow subjectivity of Cartesianism and offers a unique system of thought based on the inseparability of subject and object. By employing the term Dasein, or “being there,” Heidegger presents a new vision of existence described as “being-in-the-world”. This raises important questions about finitude and mortality, the nature of “authenticity,” how we relate to other entities and of our more general “sense of being”. Whilst liberal-left historians have consistently sought to undermine or destroy Heidegger’s reputation by reminding the world that he had once expressed support for the Nazi Party – despite a romantic encounter with Jewish philosopher Hannah Arendt in the mid-1920s – this uncompromising new volume sets out to present Heidegger as he really is. Chapters include Martin Heidegger: Overview of his Life and Being; Heidegger and Platonism; Heidegger and Nishitani; Thinking Modernity through to the Other Side: Heidegger as a Bridge from Modernity to Postmodernity; Heidegger and Henry Corbin; Heidegger and Meaning in the Midst of Modernity; Heidegger and the Anxiety of Freedom; Heidegger’s Leader Caste: The Shepherds of the Clearing; Heidegger and Jean Gebser; Heidegger and the Concept of Time; Human Propensity Towards “Everydayness”; Heidegger’s Bees; Benjamin, Heidegger and the Birth of Modernity; Heidegger and Nature; Heidegger, Tradition, Revolution. Resistance and “Anarchism”: A Very, Very Pedagogical Itinary; and more. The contributors include Troy Southgate (Editor), Robert Steuckers, Pierre Le Vigan, K.R. Bolton, Keith Preston, João Franco, Von Sanngetall and Martin Sellner.

Autumn’s Gilded Pageant: The Adventures of Gabriele D’Annunzio

Price: 23 EUROS

SEPTEMBER 1919 and the flamboyant warrior-poet, Gabriele D’Annunzio (1863-1938), surged into the Adriatic port of Fiume and claimed it for Italy. Considered by some to have been the first fascist, and by others as a proto-N*tional-A*archist, D’Annunzio and his band of soldiers, artists, rebels and outcasts established a sovereign microstate based on direct rule, free education, workers’ rights, the sanctity of private property and social welfare for those in need. In 1920 D’Annunzio’s insurrectionist city-state went on to proclaim its syndicalist constitution, the Carta del Carnaro, and formed a radical ‘anti-League of Nations’ committed to opposing globalisation and restoring the principle of national self-determination for all peoples. This new book, unique in the English-speaking world, is an important text for revolutionaries and freedom-fighters alike. Chapters include: Gabriele D’Annunzio: A Biographical Sketch; Fiume: Romantic Revolt Against the League of Nations; Gabriele D’Annunzio Before Fiume: The ‘Istrian Cruise’ of 1902; The Time of Sergeants and Snakes: Gabriele D’Annunzio and the Origins of Fascism; D’Annunzio: Between the Lands of the Eagle and the Territory of the Serpent; D’Annunzio: Revolutionary; D’Annunzio’s Social Superhomism; The Notion of King in the Work of Gabriele D’Annunzio; D’Annunzio’s Panism in Light of Heidegger’s ‘Unveiling of Being’; That Poet for Everyone and for No-one; D’Annunzio the Magnificent; 9 August 1918: D’Annunzio’s Heroic Flight Over Vienna; Between Mussolini and D’Annunzio; Portrait of Gabriele D’Annunzio; and

A City for Poets and Pirates. The contributors are Troy Southgate (Editor), K.R. Bolton, Luc-Olivier D’Algange, Luca Leonello Rimbotti, Giovanni Balducci, Lorenzo Pennacchi, Adriano Erriguel, Marcello Veneziani, Alexander Marcovics, Xavier Cheneseau, Paolo Mauri, Reinaldo Laddaga, Valentino Quintana and Emmanuel Francovich.

Roots in the Sublime: Frithjof Schuon’s Traditionalist Interpretation of the Great Religions

by Troy Southgate

Price: 23 EUROS

THIS new book examines the principal ideas of the Swiss metaphysician, Frithjof Schuon (1907-1998), a figure who devoted his life to understanding the vast intricacies of human spirituality as part of the wider Perennialist School alongside René Guénon, Ananda Coomaraswamy, Titus Burckhardt, Seyyed Hossein Nasr and various others. In 1948, Schuon published his first major work, The Transcendent Unity of Religions, which set out to elaborate upon the underlying or foundational aspects of religiosity. As he explained, beyond the ordinarily discernible reality of human experience there lies a supreme conjoinment at the level of the sublime. A single truth, therefore, that becomes manifest through a variety of different forms which are themselves the divine unfolding of an absolute principle. Schuon believed that the main difference between religions such as Hinduism, Christianity and Islam does not concern the obvious or naked dissimilarities that exist between the belief-systems themselves, but a more fundamental juxtaposition distinguishing the purely theological or doctrinal branches of each faith from the primordial soil in which each has its elemental roots. The first being exoteric and revealed, the second esoteric and hidden from view. It is this latter which suggests a deeper and more transcendent substrate in which these theological forms – shaped, reshaped and splintered down the ages – share an ultimate solidarity. Not with the result that each religion dissolves in a modern haze of syncretism, but in the hope that a healthy consensus can move us beyond the sectarian discord that so often leads to chaos and bloodshed.

by Richard Levy

Price: 23 EUROS

CONTRA-MODERN: FURTHER ESSAYS ON BARON JULIUS EVOLA

Price: 23 EUROS

AS the neo-classical imagery on the cover of this latest offering from Black Front Press suggests, the great pendulum of destiny has taken a new turn and the spirit of Dionysus has once again penetrated into the fragile heart of Apollonian civilisation. In another rich and uncompromising collection of articles, an impressive array of European contributors sets out to explore the anti-modernist stance of Julius Evola (1898–1974) and his warnings, insights and remedies for those who remain allied to the Traditional world. Chapters include Caste According to Evola; Julius Evola and the Experience of the Ur Group: The ‘Occult’ History of 20th-Century Italy; Evola and the Hyperborean Mystery: The Collection of Writings 1934-1970; Julius Evola and Historicism; The Correspondence between Julius Evola and Gottfried Benn; Evola and Wagner; What Remains of Julius Evola?; Anarchist Revolt Against the Modern World: The Challenge of Reading Evola for Anarchists; Julius Evola and Buddhism; Evola and ’68: Contestation and Revolution of the Spirit; Julius Evola and Aestheticism as an Inner Philosophical Rite; The Way of the Fathers and the Way of the Gods; and Julius Evola: The First Non-globalist.

THE SATYR AND THE DANDY: AUSTIN OSMAN SPARE AND ZOS VEL THANATOS

by Gilberto de Lascariz

Price: 23 EUROS

BLACK Front Press is honoured to present this remarkable new work by leading Portuguese occultist, Gilberto de Lascariz, whose masterly discussion of the life and writings of artist and magician Austin Osman Spare (1886–1956) is sure to be greeted with the excitement and acclaim that it deserves. Born in the heart of Victorian London, where squalor and degradation was widespread, Spare went on to become a talented artist, philosopher and esotericist who produced a series of compelling grimoires that are not only renowned for their iconoclastic style, but for their unsettling and anarchistic nature. In works such as Earth Inferno (1905), A Book of Satyrs (1907), The Book of Pleasure (1913), The Focus of Life (1921) and The Anathema of Zos (1927), Spare revealed that he was perfectly willing to overcome all notions of bourgeois morality and enter a dark, forbidding underworld of dreams, visions, witchcraft, sex magic and death. In the first of two volumes, the author demonstrates how Spare – influenced by William Blake, befriended by Kenneth Grant and pursuing a similar trajectory to that of Aleister Crowley – formulated the powerful ideas that later inspired the rise of Chaos Magic, Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth and many others.

EXISTENTIALISM BEYOND SARTRE: THE LIFE AND IDEAS OF GABRIEL MARCEL

by Troy Southgate

Price: 23 EUROS

THE roots of existentialism can be found in the nineteenth century, when philosophers such as Søren Kierkegaard and Fyodor Dostoevsky began to address the meaning and purpose of human existence in the face of what seemed like an increasingly absurd and chaotic world. With the arrival of the twentieth century the ranks of existentialism were swelled by Martin Heidegger, Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Albert Camus, Karl Jaspers and various others. Unlike the overwhelming majority of existentialists, however, French thinker and leading playwright Gabriel Marcel (1889–1973) refused to discount the importance of metaphysics or accept the position of atheism. Concerned about the process of dehumanisation taking place within modern, industrial civilisation, Marcel produced a number of books in which he tried to explain how contemporary man seemed incapable of objective characterisation or regarding other human beings as fellow subjects. Feeling a particular affinity with Kierkegaard, Marcel wished to preserve the ‘mystery of being’ and offered a stout defence against technocratic egoism and the appalling claustrophobia of mass society. Regarding others as nothing more than ‘he’ or she,’ he argued, allows the architects of modernity to annihilate individuality in its efforts to reduce us to an artificial collective. This book addresses Gabriel Marcel’s 1933 writings about the nature of ontology; his January 1946 discussion of Jean-Paul Sartre; a personal testimony on existentialism from February 1946; and the frank autobiographical reflections of 1947 in which he sought to outline his own unique interpretation of the philosophy. As the author demonstrates, Marcel’s thought continues to resonate in a world that has since taken an even darker turn.

BEYOND THE WALLS OF ASGARD: THE GODS AND GODDESSES OF VANAHEIM

Price: 23 EUROS

MANY people are familiar with the gods and goddesses of Asgard, home to great heroes like Odin and Thor, but rather less intimate with the deities who occupy Vanaheim.

IMAGINATION TRANSFIGURED: THE HISTORY, RITUAL AND SYMBOLISM OF MAGICK

Price: 23 EUROS

SHROUDED in mystery, the history of magick often involves secrecy and controversy, power and persecution. The world’s most famous occultist, Aleister Crowley, once defined it as “the Science and Art of causing Change to occur in conformity with Will” and yet there is still a great deal of confusion about the origins and practice of magick itself. This new volume explores the subject in relation to its potential for direct communication with subtle states of Being and examines the arcane relationship between ritual and philosophy, the historical connection with freedom and anarchist struggle, the links between sexuality and symbolism, and magick as it pertains to contemporary scientism, economics and technocracy. If you are looking for a text that examines the past and present aspects of magick, whether ‘good,’ ‘evil’ or everything in-between, then look no further. Chapters include The Sacredness of the Daimon in Magick and in Theurgy; Introduction to a Sinister Pagan Magick – Heidegger and the ONA: An Unholy Marriage; The Interplay of Magick, Persecution, and Freedom; Maria de Naglowska and the Doctrine of the Third Term of the Trinity; and Magic Occulted by Other Names: Demystifying Magic as the Path to Freedom. The contributors include Troy Southgate, Gilberto de Lascariz, Keith Preston, Sean Jobst and Von Sanngetall.

NIHITANI ON NIHILISM: WESTERN PHILOSOPHY THROUGH JAPANESE EYES

by Troy Southgate

Price: 23 EUROS

IN 1943 Japanese thinker Nishitani Keiji (1900-1990) was given the Chair of Philosophy and Religion at Kyoto University, which he held until 1964. Initially targetted by the occupational U.S. administration in the wake of the country’s disastrous participation in the Second World War, when the Americans had sought to root out and destroy all traces of Japan’s traditional past, Nishitani was forced to abandon his calls for social reform and began to focus on the spiritual condition of the individual in a rapidly changing world. Nishitani subsequently travelled to Europe and the United States to address fellow academics and interested students on ways to identify both the nature and the source of the West’s seemingly irrevocable descent into moral and spiritual chaos. Between 1937 and 1939 Nishitani attended Martin Heidegger’s famous lectures at Freiburg University, adding the Swabian’s metaphysical ideas – as well as those of Friedrich Niezsche – to his existing thoughts on Zen enlightenment. This led him to develop the unique and ground-breaking thesis that widespread disillusionment resulting from modernity can be successfully overcome by first recognising and then using nihilism against itself. Troy Southgate’s new work explores Nishitani’s observations on nihilism as they relate to the ideas of G.W.F. Hegel, Arthur Schopenhauer, Ludwig Feuerbach, Max Stirner, Søren Kierkegaard, Karl Marx, Fyodor Dostoevsky and Martin Heidegger. This book comes at a time when European values have degenerated even further, calling for a re-evaluation of all values.

CHRONICLE OF THE SOUL: HISTORY AND CONSCIOUSNESS ACCORDING TO RUDOLF STEINER

by Troy Southgate

Price: 23 EUROS

AFTER publishing two earlier volumes on Anthroposophy, Black Front Press is proud to present a further text in which the work of Rudolf Steiner (1861–1925) is examined in relation to the important lectures he delivered between October and November 1918, just as the First World War was grinding to a halt. With a blend of charismatic mysticism and fascinating detail, the Austrian was eager to illustrate the development of consciousness as it has unfolded during the course of human history. Covering both ancient and modern events, among them the French Revolution and the rise of Russian Bolshevism, Steiner traces the role of the supersensible and the coming of the ‘Consciousness Soul’. As Troy Southgate explains, Steiner’s thought offers us an illuminating and remarkable study of a dimension of human character that is so often neglected by mainstream academia. Oscillating between historical worlds like the thrilling adventures of a fictional time-traveller, Steiner’s thought provides us with a crucial understanding of the spiritual life of mankind at a time when such ideas are in huge demand.

TRUTH IS UGLY: THE IMPLACABLE GENIUS OF LOUIS-FERDINAND CÉLINE

Price: 23 EUROS

LOUIS-FERDINAND Destouches (1894–1961), better known as Céline, is one of France’s greatest writers and polemicists. Highly controversial and known for his uncompromising application of language, his books – including Journey to the Edge of the Night (1932) and Death on Credit (1936) – were often peppered with expletives and brutally expose the hidden underbelly of French society. Focussing on the poverty, violence and hypocrisy of twentieth-century existence, Céline’s unforgettable prose is a shocking litany of decline that lays bare the European malaise both home and abroad. Frequently attacked for his rampant ‘anti-Semitism’ by Jean-Paul Sartre and many others, Céline was nonetheless critical of the Nazi regime and, in turn, denounced by the Third Reich for his nihilistic approach to civilisation. This did not prevent his enemies forcing him out of the country in 1945 or calling for his extradition from Denmark, where he spent eighteen months as a prisoner and a further four years in exile. Despite his scandalous reputation, Céline’s books identify the psycho-physical degeneration of Western Man and are fiercely anti-progressive in their efforts to attack the bourgeois values of liberalism and capitalism. With admirers on all sides of the political divide, the Frenchman was anarchist, elitist and had set out to wage a revolt against the modern world. With twenty-one outstanding contributions, this book is essential reading. Chapters include Here is the Cursed Céline; Dominique Venner: Reader of Céline; Céline and European Man; Céline and Stupidity; Monsieur Céline: An Exasperated Anti-bourgeois; The Fate of Céline who Abandoned Art for Literature; Furious Criticism of the Times in the Spirit of Pessimism; Céline and the Frenchman’s Imbecilic Submission; Edward Bernays and Louis-Ferdinand Céline Confront Modern Conditioning; Céline Narrates the Temper of the First World War; Céline and the Harsh Realities of Existence; Art and War: From Céline to H.G. Wells; Céline’s Unpublished ‘War’ and the Disorientation of Man in the Folds of the Conflict; When Céline was Just a Young Cuirassier-in-Arms in the Great War; Céline: The Invectives of a Damned Man on His Twilight Path; Dr. Céline: The Unknown Situationist; The Image of Céline as Visionary Icon of the Crazy ‘Short Century’; From Steppenwolf to Bardamu: Hesse and Céline Against the Modern World; Berlin, March 1942; Louis-Ferdinand Céline and the Great Western Humanitarian Spirit; and Céline and the ‘Biological Drama of History’. The contributors are Troy Southgate (Editor), Luca Leonello Rimbotti; Nicolas Bonnal, Andrea Lombardi, Jürgen W. Gansel, Adriano Scianca, Marc Laudelout, Stenio Solinas, Paul Modave, Gaetano Marabello, Mario Bernardi Guardi, Manlio Triggiani, Claude Bourrinet, Marcello Veneziani; and Georges Dominique.

BLOOD AND SHEKELS: EXPOSING THE INTERNATIONAL ZIONIST CARTEL

Price: 23 EUROS

GIVEN the subject matter, as well as the powerful individuals concerned, it would be no exaggeration to suggest that this is one of the most dangerous books in the world. Having manipulated the last few centuries of human history, organised Jewish lobbies and their internationalist financiers have become a devastating force that now dominate governmental affairs, operate an extensive network of Western and non-Western economies, own most of the world’s media and carry out assassinations and terrorist outrages around the globe. Originally fuelled by the rise of German nationalism in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, the exponents of this poisonous ideology were able to secure the funding of wealthy Jewish bankers like the Rothschild family and then, by way of a convenient theological smokescreen, use Judaism as a means by which to entice Jews to leave Europe and resettle in Palestine. This opportunistic strategy, and rightly so, has been vigorously denounced by both secular and religious Jews alike, not to mention millions of others who value the principles of freedom, justice and self-determination. Whilst the indigenous Arab population of this beleaguered land is subject to the violence and brutality of the Israeli regime on a daily basis, the wider tentacles of International Zionism seek to contain us all within the iron grip of an increasingly global police state. Now available as a second edition with a brand new cover, the book features an impressive selection of names from the world of dissident politics. Chapters include Zionism and the Power Elite; The Chabad Connections of Trump and Putin; The Century of Deceit; Zionism, Puritanism and Masonry: The Unholy Trinity; The Anti-Defamation League and its Perpetual Victim Narrative; Israeli Militarism Predicated on 9/11 Deception; Zionism and Judaism: Two Sides of the Same Coin; Netanyahu and the Disturbing Political Connections of Chabad; and History’s Powderkeg: The Story of the Khazarian Empire; and Swindler’s List. The contributors are Troy Southgate (Editor), Keith Preston, Gilad Atzmon, K.R. Bolton, Sean Jobst, Alexander Baron, Professor Sahib Mustaqim Bleher and Brandon Martinez.

GOLD AMONG LEAD: RIDING THE TIGER WITH JULIUS EVOLA

by Troy Southgate

Price: 23 EUROS

BY 1961, when a Milanese publishing house issued Julius Evola’s (1898–1974) Cavalcare la tigre, the author had already written a number of important texts on politics, philosophy, mythology and spirituality. At the beginning of a decade in which Traditionalist values were set to decline far more rapidly, however, there remained a desperate need to address the manner in which it is still possible to live in accordance with such principles when all seems completely lost. As Europe and much of the world continues to collapse around our ears, the best course of action is to welcome this precarious state of affairs and learn to cultivate the impervious strength of character that can allow a minority of differentiated individuals to maintain a sense of equilibrium and transcendence. This new work, marking the 50th anniversary of Evola’s death, explores the Italian’s captivating thoughts on modernity, nihilism, science, culture, society and spirituality.

ANOTHER SHADE OF GREEN: COLLECTED WRITINGS OF RICHARD HUNT

Price: 23 EUROS

RICHARD Hunt was one of the most important and original Anarchist thinkers of the late-twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Having begun his political journey in Green Anarchist circles, Hunt went on to establish Alternative Green magazine in the early-1990s. His concise analysis of the relationship between the periphery and the core, as well as the reasons behind the ongoing scandal of Third World starvation and poverty in general, led to him breaking the stranglehold of the authoritarian Left and engaging in meaningful dialogue with English nationalists. This was a ground-breaking victory in his attempt to create a convergence of like-minds and Hunt’s ideas had a massive impact on the emergence of National-Anarchism. With a brand new cover and layout, this second edition includes an introduction by Troy Southgate and personal tributes from Wayne John Sturgeon and Anthony Wilkes. Chapters include The Theory of Alternative Green, The Natural Society, Who’s Starving Them?, Don’t Knock Nationalism Yet, The Headless-Chicken Lefties, The Right’s Bleak Utopia, Whose Crime Is It?, The Revolution on the Periphery, How the Rulers Create the Poverty, Free Trade or Protection?, Solving Green Problems, Witch-Finder General, Distributism: Economic Theory of the Far Right and the Greens, Kinship Versus Government, An Interview with Richard Hunt, Return of the Darwinists, Art Boosts the Peck Order, Why Anarchism?, Situationism, Territoriality, Determinism, Philosophy: A Failed Project, and Towards a New Revolutionary Paradigm: Beyond Left-Right.

ERNST JÜNGER: THOUGHTS & PERSPECTIVES

Price: 23 EUROS

ERNST Jünger (1895–1998), who lived a long and fulfilling life, became one of Germany’s most admired literary figures. He is best remembered for his detailed memoirs as a lieutenant and commander in the First World War, a period which is forever immortalised in ‘The Storm of Steel’ (1920). Jünger, who was heavily decorated for his wartime exploits, was also a leading German intellectual and produced several philosophical novels, among them ‘On the Marble Cliffs’ (1939), ‘Heliopolis’ (1949), ‘The Glass Bees’ (1957), ‘Eumeswil’ (1977), ‘Aladdin’s Problem’ (1983) and ‘A Dangerous Encounter’ (1985). Another dimension to Ernst Jünger was his interest in politics and a firm opposition to both democracy and liberalism. In association with men such as Oswald Spengler, Arthur Moeller van den Bruck, Ernst von Salomon, Carl Schmitt and Ernst Niekisch, he performed a leading role in the ranks of the Conservative Revolution. First published in 2012, the essays in this revised and reformatted volume are now in high demand. Chapters include Ernst Jünger: A Portrait of An Anarch; The Balkanization of the System: Ernst Jünger and the Endtimes; Jünger and the Third Reich; “Between the Gods and the Titans”; Ernst Jünger as an Icon of “the Fascist Style”: The Ideological and Biographical Implications; East & West: Ernst Jünger’s Der gordische Knoten; and A Charmed Life: The Military Adventures of Ernst Jünger. The contributors include Troy Southgate, K.R. Bolton, Keith Preston, Tomislav Sunic, Elena Semenyaka, Dimitris Michalopoulos, Alain De Benoist and Julius Evola.

SECRET EUROPE: A JOURNEY INTO THE HEART OF THE CONSERVATIVE REVOLUTION

Price: 23 EUROS

THE Conservative Revolution first rose to the fore during the German Weimar Republic between 1918 and 1933, the period marking the end of the First World War and the final consolidation of Nazi totalitarianism. Although this phenomenon is usually associated with conservative and reactionary elements, many of whom were fiercely nationalistic, there were many interactions and convergences with Anarchist and Socialist elements that were also opposed to the twin evils of capitalism and Marxism. The twenty-two chapters in this remarkable new volume explore the political, cultural and militaristic aspects of the Conservative Revolution in both Germany and elsewhere. It is crucial for understanding both how and why principled activists and fighters on all sides were divided by those who wish to cling onto power. Needless to say, it is not too dissimilar to the situation we find ourselves in today. Chapters include Was There a Conservative Revolution in Spain? Ortega y Gasset and the Fighting Generations; Paul Gérardy and Belgian Symbolism; And Ernst Jünger Discovered that Technology Enslaved Man; Franziska Zu Reventlow: Bohemia, Scandals and the Conservative Revolution; The Theory of “Nomos” in Carl Schmitt: Geopolitics as a Bulwark Against Nihilism; Long Live Secret Germany!; Pagan Idols in Ludwig Klages; Schwabing’s Munich Bavaria: The Cradle of the German Conservative Revolution; Spengler and Italy; Munich Bavaria from Schwabing to Ticino; Dominique Venner on Ernst Jünger and the Conservative Revolution (Interview Conducted by Pauline Lecomte); Back to Civvie Street: Ernst Röhm’s Friendship with Adolf Hitler in Ruins; The Ascetics of War in the Thought of Giovanni Gentile and Carl Schmitt; Ernst Jünger: Contemplator in Uniform and Master of Freedom; Werner Sombart: Why There is no Socialism in the United States; Count Keyserling’s School of Wisdom: A Lesson in Cultural Influence; Hoffman and Jünger: The Perturbing Nature of Technology; The Fate of Beppo Römer: From the Free Corps to the German Communist Party; The Dead Prussian: Commemorating the Birth of Ernst von Salomon; The Mystery of Language According to Ernst Jünger; Munich or Athens on the Isar: City of Culture and Matrix of Conservative-Revolutionary Ideas; and Ernst Röhm in South America: Bolivia and Beyond.

MISHIMA: THOUGHTS & PERSPECTIVES

Price: 23 EUROS

THE well-known author, Yukio Mishima (1925–1970), remains one of the greatest figures in Japanese literature and was also an accomplished poet, actor, playwright and film director. Inspired by the traditional principles of the Samurai texts, Mishima was a fierce critic of post-1945 Japan and made the ultimate sacrifice for his beliefs. On November 25th, 1970, shortly after completing his four-volume Sea of Fertility, Mishima and several other committed members of the Tatenokai, or Shield Society, stormed the commandant’s office at the Self-Defence Forces headquarters in Tokyo and delivered a stirring speech to the assembled troops gathered beneath the balcony. Consequently, Japan’s most famous and controversial personality committed ritual suicide (seppuku) and was immortalised forever. First published in 2012, this radical and uncompromising text – with some very welcome and surprising contributors – is sure to attract a great deal of interest at a time when making sacrifices for a principle higher than oneself is becoming something of a rarity. Chapters include The Immortal Death of Mishima; Warrior of the Rising Sun; Mishima Contra Nihilism; Twentieth-Century Samurai; Discovering Mishima; Production Without Capital: Mishima’s Lost World; Damn Japs: The People It’s Okay to Hate; Mishima in 1968; and Hidden Among the Leaves: Yukio Mishima and Hagakure. The contributors include Troy Southgate (Editor), Douglas P., Koichi Toyama, K. R. Bolton, Dimitris Michalopoulos, Wulf Ingessunu, Christopher Pankhurst, John Howells and Vijay Prozak.

RUNES OF POWER: LIVING SYMBOLS OF OUR GERMANIC HERITAGE

Price: 23 EUROS

MODERN academics tell us that runes are little more than a Germanic alphabet that was eventually superseded by Latin, but for those who incorporate these symbols into their everyday lives they contain immense magical potential. The study of runes has made something of a comeback over the last decade or so, inviting Europeans to celebrate their spiritual and cultural heritage far beyond the sanitised limitations of fashion and the Hollywood film industry. In this exciting new volume, a collection of men and women who have made it their duty to communicate the message of these powerful symbols to others have come together to produce one of the most valuable sources on rune-lore itself. Eye-opening and original, this fascinating book will change the way you view the traditional spirituality of the northern peoples. Chapters include: Revelations from the Runic Mysteries; The English Rune-row; Runic Meditation; The Runes as Odin’s Blood Epiphany and the Gnostic Trance of Thule; The Frequencies of the Gods; Runes: Doorways to Mythic Time; Tacitus Germania: A Review of Tacitus’ Observations on Runes and Rune Use; Traditional Housewifery; New English Rune Poem; and Invocation of the Futhork. The contributors are: Troy Southgate (Editor), Gilberto de Lascariz, Wulf Ingessunu, Christina Finlayson Taylor, Piercarlo Bormida, Rosemary Twyla Smith, Blaine Qualls, Gregor Ælfweald, Janet Burden and Ismo Meinander.

THE WORLD ACCORDING TO FRITZ: E. F. SCHUMACHER AND THE PERENNIAL PHILOSOPHY by Troy Southgate

Price: 23 EUROS

MOST people know of E. F. Schumacher (1911–1977) from his best-selling 1973 work, Small is Beautiful, which advocates a form of social and economic decentralisation as a committed response to large-scale industrialisation, invasive technology and sweeping globalisation. ‘Fritz,’ as he was more affectionately known, was deeply inspired by the distributist ideas of G.K. Chesterton and Hilaire Belloc, becoming a firm opponent of capitalism and modernity. In 1955, Schumacher travelled to Burma to develop his theory of ‘Buddhist economics’. Convinced that “production from local resources for local needs is the most rational way of economic life,” he formulated methods of sustainable technology that would change the lives of ordinary people for the better. As a professional energy advisor and President of the organic farming group, The Soil Association, the German was able to use his position to influence some of the leading economists of the day. In the present work, Troy Southgate examines the spiritual and philosophical concepts that Schumacher espoused shortly before his untimely death in September 1977. Having rejected his former atheism and set out on the path of the seeker, Schumacher – who had explored the Traditionalist School – took his lead from saints, mystics and theologians such as Thomas Aquinas, George Gurdjieff, René Guénon, A.K. Coomaraswamy, Jacques Maritain, Maurice Nicoll and Etienne Gilson. This book, overflowing with Schumacher’s great energy and wisdom, will enable you to look at the world through new eyes.

SPENGLER: THOUGHTS & PERSPECTIVES

Price: 23 EUROS

BORN in Blankenburg, close to the Harz Mountains, Oswald Spengler (1880-1936) was a leading German philosopher and one of the foremost luminaries of the Conservative Revolution. His masterpiece, The Decline of the West, was published in two volumes between 1918 and 1923. The work itself – partly inspired by Goethe and Nietzsche – postulated the idea that cultures and civilisations are cyclical and rise and fall like biological organisms. The text was a dagger thrust at the erroneous heart of the progressivist notion that history is purely linear and that Western civilisation is somehow immune to the indomitable march of time. Spengler’s other books include Prussianism and Socialism (1920), Man and Technics (1931) and The Hour of Decision (1933). In the present work, first published in 2012, our team of writers examines some of the key themes in Spenglerian thought in light of the events that have shaped world history ever since. These topics include Spengler’s ideas on technology, Russia, economics, Caesarism, eugenics, Weimar, culture and Socialism. Regardless what one makes of his controversial views and opinions, this book will provide readers with a unique and valuable insight into Spengler’s work. Chapters include Spengler: A Philosopher For All Seasons; Russia: Bulwark Against Decline; Spengler and German Socialism: The Weimar Period Reconsidered; Spengler and Russia; The Numinous Genesis of Culture; Egalitarian Eugenics in the Age of Caesarism; Oswald Spengler & Brooks Adams: and The Economics of Cultural Decline. The contributors include Troy Southgate (Editor), K.R. Bolton, Alex Kurtagic, Dimitris Michalopoulos, Christopher Pankhurst and John Howells.
