Is this is directed at a recent post I made there? If so, I fail to
see in what way the statements made contradict anything I have ever
posted here. I am wondering if the issue is not so
much 'contradiction,' but rather dislike of members who stray from
some kind of 'party' line that promotes crude anti-semitism, naive
romanticism of National Socialism and adherence to Evola's, I believe
absurd, belief in primordial nordic supermen.
However, before too much offense is generated from this last
sentence, it should be noted that I nonetheless uphold respect for
the moderators stance regarding Evola, i.e. presenting all aspects of
his work no matter how repugnant they may be for modern palates.
Needless to say, unlike the moderators, I find myself in disagreement
with certain aspects of Evola's work, but regardless of my personal
assessment of his work I find the moderators stance far more
preferable than that of Hansen, Godwin & co. who seem intent on
blunting various aspects of Evola's work in order to make it more
palatable for modern tastes.
Anyway, I am assuming you wish me to leave so I will bid you
gentlemen farewell wishing you the best with your translation work
and leaving with the following quote from Evola that
no doubt some here would do well to read.
'This kind of "scholasticism" consists in following passively just
about every view ever formulated by Guenon, with a pedantic
attitude, without any true investigation or discrimination...While
it remains true that "originality" is definitely out of place in
this domain, the influence of a teacher is truly effective not when
it generates slavish and stereotypical repetitions, but when it
generates the impulse for further developments, and, if necessary,
for revisions, thanks to an abundance of perspectives. While an
acknowledgment of what is valid and unique in Guenon's work is due,
this should not prevent the observation of some of his limits, due
to his "personal equation" and to his forma mentis. It is precisely
this critical approach that leaves room for potentially fruitful
work.'
