An eventful century has passed since the writings, activities, and networks of René Guénon (1886-1951), Ananda Coomaraswamy (1877-1947), Julius Evola (1898-1974), and Frithjof Schuon (1907-1998) initiated what has come to be known as Traditionalism. Within recent decades, unprecedented attention has been drawn to Traditionalism and Traditionalists, both historical and contemporary, in nearly all possibly categorizable spheres: philosophy, religion, esotericism, politics, literature, art, a...

In the beginning was the word: Mythos. In the unfathomable depths of language and at the dizzying heights of philosophy and theology, man is Homo Mythicus, the being who can hear and tell the unfolding tale of Heaven, Earth, Divinities, Mortals, and Things. Alas, in the dark night of the modern world factory, the echoes of the ancient myths have fallen silent, but lone voices might still dare to ask the question, and lone ears might still attune themselves to hearken: wil...

A century ago, between the uneasy aftermath of the First World War and the chaos of the Russian Revolution, an elite group of Russian intellectuals announced the discovery of a new continent they called "Eurasia", a sprawling landmass wedged between Europe and Asia fated to upend mainstream Eurocentric narratives on history and civilization. The intellectual trend these diverse thinkers initiated came to be called "Eurasianism", a school of thought which quickly developed into a movement, ...

From his early engagement with phenomenology to his later poetic meditations, Martin Heidegger's way of thinking is as complex and challenging as it is enchanting and inviting. In his endeavor to revive the question of Being, Heidegger radically reinterpreted the character of philosophy and intimated the hermeneutic nature of human existence, transforming hermeneutics from the conventional exegesis of texts into a pathway of experiencing Being in every corner of philosophy, poetry, and eve...

Thousands of years before cities and writing surfaced in Mesopotamia, the Danube River Basin in the Balkans was home to a flourishing civilization. Since their rediscovery in the 20th century, the prehistoric cultures of Lepenski Vir and Vinča have redrawn the map of ancient history, challenging established archaeology and chronology and fascinating the imagination. At the center of attention and controversy are the so-called "Vinča symbols," whose interpretations have drawn enthusiasm, de...

With a dual sense of urgency and calm, Boris Nad's After the Virus: The Rebirth of a Multipolar Worldinvites readers to catharsis, to r...

In the Myth of the Cave as told in Plato's Republic, a prisoner of the cave of illusions escapes and comes to know the true reality of the outside world and the heavens above, only to realize that he must make a return descent to enlighten his fellow humans - at the risk of sorrow and even death. Socrates insists that the true philosopher and just statesman does not rest content in the bliss of ascended knowledge and harmony, but dares to live, think, teach, and struggle in the wo...
