Myth and Sun Essays on Spiritual Conservatism Martin Friedrich

Every essay in this collection is an honoring of spiritual being - scholarship be damned. For what is scholarship but subjectivity in fancy dress? Reason is a tool, after all, and not a god, despite its fervent, blasphemous worship by the proof-eaters, who survey and amass it like so much slop in a sty. Modern scholarship is naught but acquiescence to the prevailing worldview, an outward manifestation of the crisis of modernity, an apotheosizing of reason, the bellowing of the quantity. To rail against such servility pleases our spirit and honors our ancestors. We should always use reason as the mere tool it is and subordinate it to something ever holier: the will of the Germanic man.

This collection means to add to a tradition that is under attack - a tradition that culminated in the demonized (and often deliberately misrepresented) writings of Friedrich Nietzsche and Alfred Rosenberg; a tradition manifested in the steadfast heroism of Hans Rudel and Léon Degrelle; a tradition represented in the glory- and merit-based brilliance of Napoleon; a tradition as ancient as the seas surrounding primeval Hyperborea: the history of the true European culture that beckons its future destiny; for without it, we will all simply melt into a rootless mass of faceless producers and consumers - exactly what the golems of modernity would wish.
