Jünger: Thoughts and Perspectives

Thought & Perspectives

by Troy Southgate (Editor), Tomislav Sunić (Contributor), Alain de Benoist (Contributor)

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 his famous novel Storm of Steel. Jünger, who was decorated for his wartime exploits, was also an intellectual and produced several philosophical works. 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 and Ernst von Salomon, he performed a leading role in the ranks of the Conservative Revolution.

The topics discussed in this new book from Black Front Press include Jünger and National Bolshevism, Ernst Jünger and the Endtimes, Ernst Jünger: A Portrait of An Anarch, Jünger and the Third Reich, The Military Adventures of Ernst Jünger and much more. The contributors are Troy Southgate (Editor), Professor Tomislav Sunic, Alain de Benoist, Kerry Bolton, Keith Preston, Dimitris Michalopoulos and Elena Semenyaka.

Life is too short and too beautiful to sacrifice for ideas, although contamination is not always avoidable. But hats off to the martyrs.

A mixed bag. Poorly edited articles with lots of overlap. Disturbing thoughts and a strange life. I feel more confused about Jünger than before opening this book. But at least Bolton finally gave me an idea of fascism put succinctly: "socialism of the trenches". Not marxist but nationalist. Worship of industry, force, youth and progress (in a material sense); political futurism, totalitarianism. Anti-bourgeois, anti-democratic, anti-Christian.

Semenyaka's article was a highlight.

We should not talk about tradition: we should create it.
