War as Inner Experience: Part Six, by Ernst Jünger, published by Arktos.
This is the sixth part of Constantin von Hoffmeister’s translation of Ernst Jünger’s profound treatise War as Inner Experience, which will be published here in installments.
Pacifism
War is the most powerful encounter of peoples. While only the advanced peaks touch in trade and traffic, in competitions and congresses, in war their entire team knows only one goal: the enemy. Whatever questions and ideas ever moved the world, it was always the bloody conflict that decided over them. Indeed, all freedom, all greatness, and all culture were born in the idea, in silence, but only preserved, spread, or lost through wars. Through war, great religions become the property of the entire earth; the most capable races sprout from dark roots to the light; countless slaves become free men. War is no more a human institution than the sexual drive; it is a law of nature, therefore we will never escape its spell. We must not deny it, or it...

Yukio Mishima: Action and Art, an essay by Chōkōdō Shujin, published by Arktos.
Chōkōdō Shujin examines the tension between personal artistic drive and national characteristics, as exemplified by Yukio Mishima’s life and work, which epitomized the spirit of ancient Japan and the pursuit of beauty in creative expression and deeds.
Excerpt:
While it is obvious to any that Mishima was willing to die for an action that he knew would amount to nothing, he did not seek to die a “Japanese death,” although the result is the same. His death was emblematic of centuries of Japanese tradition. Mishima chose the manner of death that was the most suitable to convey his message: that his nation should arise and be liberated from the constraints forced upon it by the Americans in the aftermath of the Pacific War. In his supreme action, Yukio Mishima acted as...

“There is no longer any beauty except the struggle. Any work of art that lacks a sense of aggression can never be a masterpiece. Poetry must be thought of as a violent assault upon the forces of the unknown with the intention of making them prostrate themselves at the feet of mankind. ”

“World history is the history of states. The history of states is the history of wars. Ideas, when they push for a decision, disguise themselves in political units, in states, in peoples, in parties. They want to be fought with weapons, not with words.”

"Read day and night, devour books — these sleeping pills — not to know but to forget! Through books you can retrace your way back to the origins of spleen, discarding history and its illusions."

Holism and Morality, an essay by Sietze Bosman, published by Arktos.
Sietze Bosman argues that a holistic worldview can inspire a natural moral doctrine aligned with the inherent order of creation.
The concept of holism was first introduced by Jan van der Smuts, a South African general, statesman, and philosopher. Where Smuts shaped his thesis on the relation between evolution and the concept of holism, I argue that by viewing the world as a holist entity, we can distill a moral doctrine from the natural order that follows from...

Happy 80th Birthday, Alain de Benoist!
Alain de Benoist is the leading thinker of the European ‘New Right’ movement, a school of political thought founded in France in 1968 with the establishment of GRECE (Research and Study Group for European Civilisation). He remains its primary representative, even while rejecting the label ‘New Right’ for himself. An ethnopluralist defender of cultural uniqueness and integrity, de Benoist has argued for the right of Europeans to retain their identity in the face of multiculturalism. He has opposed immigration, while emphasising the importance of preserving indigenous cultures rather than compelling immigrant groups to assimilate forcibly.

"The issue of identity does not return; it simply emerges. In traditional societies, the question of identity does not even arise. It begins to arise in modern times because the landmarks are fading, and more and more people are questioning who they are and what they belong to."

“A right-wing person is one who draws his knowledge about the world from history. A leftist gets it from an imagined future. A right-wing person starts from the question of what the world is like, a leftist from what it should be like.”
