Over the past thirty-five years in our country—as in nearly the entire rest of the world—a distinct social group has taken shape that can be described as the “global class.” These are people who, during this period, either succeeded in amassing vast fortunes or integrated themselves into global processes at the level of culture, science, and technology. Quite often, it was both.
We come to a third concept, crucial for understanding the transition from a unipolar to a multipolar world and the place of the BRICS countries in this process. We are talking about the concept of the civilisation-state. This idea has been formulated by Chinese scholars (in particular by Professor Zhang Weiwei) and most often the concept of the civilisation-state is applied to modern China and then by analogy to Russia, India, etc. In the Russian context, a similar theory was put forward by the Eurasians, who proposed the concept of the Peace-State. Actually, in that trend, Russia was understood as a civilisation, not just one of the countries, hence the main Eurasian concept - Russia-Eurasia.
This article is devoted to the most important philosophical problem – the problem of Nothing. At first glance, nothing is easier than nothing, but in fact, nothing is more complicated. When a person begins to think about being, including about his own being, about his life, he will sooner or later come across the topic of the border. Being is. But in order to truly appreciate it, it is necessary to correlate it with something. This is where Nothing comes in.
In the Greek Orthodox tradition, churches that are dedicated to Sophia the Divine Wisdom have their patronal festival on the day of Mid-Pentecost. It means that today is truly a day of philosophy, truly a day of the Divine Wisdom, which our ancestors, our founding fathers handed down to us. As you know, in the Divine Liturgy, there is a priestly exclamation: "Wisdom! Arise!" Sometimes our theologians and philosophers try to contrast divine wisdom with human wisdom. But in the original Greek text of the liturgy, the word 'Sophia' is used. Sophia refers to both meanings of wisdom: divine wisdom and human wisdom. These two meanings do not totally coincide, but, at the same time, they are not in opposition.
We have approached a fundamental change in Russia itself. Everyone talks about the 'party of war' and the 'party of peace'. I think these expressions are wrong. This was the case in 2014, but it no longer fits the new conditions.
During the pandemic, we began to lose famous people not one by one, as usual, but in whole blocks. Which is very sad. We do not have time to recover from one loss, as immediately the next. July was particularly troubling. I knew many of those who had passed away personally and watched others with interest and attention for many years.
Today I would like to remember Peter Mamonov, who died from the coronavirus (and why else is everyone dying today from…).
Meaningful internal reforms must logically begin in Russia. This is required by the SMO, which, in the extreme, has aggravated the contradictions with the West - with the entire modern Western civilisation. Today anyone can see that it’s no longer safe to simply use the norms, methods, concepts, products of this civilisation. The West spreads its ideology along with its technologies, permeating all spheres of life. If we recognise ourselves as part of Western civilisation, we should voluntarily accept this total colonisation and even enjoy it (as in the 1990s), but in the case of the current confrontation - which is fatal! - this attitude is unacceptable. Many westerners and liberals became fully aware of this and left Russia at the very moment when the break with western civilisation had become irreversible; the situation became irreversible on 24 February 2022, and even two days earlier - at the time of the recognition of the independence of the DPR and LPR - on 22 February 2022.
Last spring, reflecting on Trump’s first steps in power, I wrote an article in which I raised the issue of an “even deeper Deep State.”
I admire Italy, or more precisely the many societies, cultures, peoples, and states comprising the history of Italy from the Etruscans and Roman Empire to the Vatican and Risorgimento. I dedicated a separate book to the “Latin Logos,” where I expressed my love for the Italian spirit and for the beauty of dramatic and elevated Italian thought.
Let us trace the fate of the Logos in the Postmodern. It is extremely important to always remember that the Logos is one of the manifestations of the heroic myth, i.e. the product of the diurnal regime (according to J. Durand's classification). Nor is it the only one, nor is it absolute. The Logos includes the antithetical and pleonasmic sides of the heroic myth (heterogeneous homogenisation) and takes them to their ultimate limit, but it also leaves aspects of the Diurnal myth such as the direct and frenzied will to power, passionality and hyperbolisation in the unconscious. Of course, these aspects of the Diurnal - relatives of the Logos - also penetrate the same, but not explicitly, but through the inertia of the choreic attraction of the heroic myths to one another (i.e. not logically).
According to the dictionary of foreign words in the Russian language, the term "pole" originates from the Greek word "polos", meaning the extremity of an imaginary axis around which a wheel rotates1.
I would like to introduce the Star of Ishtar, the symbol of Eurasianism. The symbolism of this icon is so powerful and, in my opinion, necessary of a deeper understanding for the future of our world.
In the wide-ranging and detailed international reflection on geopolitics, there is a tendency to reflect on the major intercontinental systems, concentrating mostly on the two macropowers that the 20th century has consecrated, namely the United States of America and the Russian Federation, taking them as references in an almost univocal manner; when new major powers present themselves, as has been the case since the beginning of our century, there is an attempt to make a comparison with the two majority powers and study the relations and ties that exist with them. This manifests, in my opinion, a kind of formal flaw that is entirely legitimate but at the same time necessary for revision.
Exiled for three centuries by the Modern, the traditional world suffers from an inability to project its future with the inevitable collapse of the first and last remaining political theory of the Modern.
Presentation given by Israel Lira on Saturday, April 29 in the framework of the Global Conference on Multipolarity and Fourth Political Theory thanks to the organization of cultural and social movement Nova Resistencia of Brazil, The International Russophile Movement and The Thinkers Forum of China, under the direction of the Tsargrad Institute (Moscow)
My name is Mitsuhiro KIMURA of the Japanese patriotic organization Issuikai. I am a patriotic social activist.
Postmodernism is the paradigm towards which the transition from the previous paradigm, the modern, is taking place. The transition is taking place before our eyes, so today's society (at least western society, but also planetary society as far as western influence is concerned) is a society in transition. Not only is Russian society transitive in a broad sense, but also the social matrix that defines the life of humanity to this or that degree is changing its qualitative nature today.
I have noticed that the consciousness of many people [Russian citizens, ed.] cannot cope with the events of 24 June. So they tend to say: 'it didn't happen'; 'it wasn't real'; 'they were there on purpose'. This is the only way to numb the acute pain of what happened.
The Russian authorities are eager to demonstrate compliance with certain rules in the war in Ukraine. The West has believed since the beginning of the SMO, and in fact since 2014, with the annexation of Crimea, that Russia had broken the (beneficial to the West) rules. And even if it did not, it would mean nothing. Therefore, the West is playing without rules against Russia.
Transcript of Pepe Escobar's speech at the Global Multipolar Conference on 29 April 2023.
Peter Nikolayevich Savitsky's works, from letters and poems to scientific publications, make frequent use of the concept of rhythm. The idea of applying rhythm to history is obviously not accidental, especially when one considers the etymology and meaning of the word.
Alexander Dugin on the irreversible fracture of the West, Trump’s imperial gambits, and the emergence of five competing Western poles.
Alexander Dugin on Cheburashka as a symptom of late-Soviet infantilism and the degeneration of heroic archetypes.
Alexander Dugin outlines how Trump is tearing off the veil of civility in geopolitics, reclaiming the Western Hemisphere for a New World Empire that challenges the Old World to rise to the occasion with avant-garde maneuvers and no-holds-barred force.
At times, one may get the impression that we are fighting merely to preserve the status quo, or simply fending off the challenges piling up against us.
By fighting concretely for our Civilization against the satanic global civilization, we help other Civilizations to do the same.
EU is an expressive example of how democracy can fail and become its own opposite. But it rests to define whether it is the problem of EU or the natural feature of the democracy itself?
North Korea is a beautiful thing. Interestingly, the Korean word 'Juche' (주체) is a deeply philosophical term and means 'subject' or even the Heideggerian Dasein. It has everything else included in it: independence, freedom, civil sovereignty.
The Absolute Spirit is not a beginning but the result of the complete cycle of the unfolding of subjectivity—hence Hegel is not an idealist but a phenomenologist. However, he is a phenomenologist of the Radical Subject.
The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 allowed liberalism to emerge as the undisputed, dominant global ideology. Over the past several years, however, the ideology’s future has come increasingly under question. Populist upheavals in the United States and Europe exposed growing discontent with the inability of liberal institutions to cope with foreign policy and economic failures. At the same time, new emerging powers such as Russia, China, and India among others have begun to put forth their own ideological alternatives.
The course aims to offer an in-depth understanding of the Fourth Political Theory of the philosopher, sociologist and political scientist Professor Aleksandr Dugin, a well-known contemporary Russian thinker. His theory, which is of great interest worldwide, offers many highly topical insights and is proposed as an alternative and solution to today's problems. Students will come into contact with the Fourth Political Theory by getting to know its founding elements, political and ethno-sociological philosophical thinking, theory and praxis, the original instrument of Noomachia with its geopolitical meanings and metaphysics for a new humanity.
The assassination attempt on Trump was quite predictable. There is no doubt that everything is organized by the globalists with the backing of the part of the Deep State that supports them. The only way to keep the mad grandfather in power is to kill Trump, who otherwise would almost certainly win under the circumstances. The shooter was eliminated just after finishing his shoots by a secret service sniper to make ends meet. Essentially, there was an attempted coup d'état in the US.
Over time, Art has become a language for communicating with others, but initially it served to know reality through representation. In fact, Art perceives reality and through its interpretation transforms it into an Idea. Art is a language that starts from the heart and is directed to other hearts. Today we can confirm that the multipolar theory is a keystone of the epochal change we are experiencing. Today we can also say that multipolarity is certainly a revolutionary idea. When we use the term revolution it is important to know its only real meaning. The term revolution (from the Latin re-volvere) means to restore a previously established order.
Absolutely necessary changes are urgently needed in our society. Only they can lead us to Victory. And without Victory, there will be no Russia. Everyone understands this today. To save the people and the state, we must change. And radically and urgently.
Alain de Benoist examines the contrasting frameworks of liberal internationalism, nation-states, and civilisational states in defining the characteristics of the Earth’s Nomos.
In the history of 20th century philosophy and political science, everything associated with existentialism is opposed to politics. It is the existentialism of Sartre, Camus, leftist existentialism, which serves as a basis for criticising political structures and political systems, because it is a remote response to Heidegger.
LA riots are cut and paste of Kiev’s Maidan. The same methods, same pictures. In Kiev it was against Putin. In LA it is against Trump. Globalists hate them both.
'A true intellectual, a man for whom his thoughts are more important than his physical existence': this is how they write about the Russian thinker Aleksandr Dugin, the Western press calls the philosopher 'Putin's mentor', 'the brain of the Kremlin', 'the ideological foundation of the SMO'. To destroy him, terrorists blew up Dugin's daughter Daria a year ago. What did she die for and what ideas does Dugin himself support? Interview by Marina Hakimova-Gatzemeyer.
My (alas deceased) friend, great businessman and patriot, Mikhail Yuriev, once asked me a question: why is the ideal a zero foreign trade balance, i.e. the situation where the country sells as much as it buys (i.e. the volume of imports equals the volume of exports)? It turns out, he concluded, that the ideal would be to reduce foreign trade to zero, a very good point on which he built his curious book Fortress Russia. The main idea is: Russia should close itself off from the world and build an autonomous society based only on our traditional Russian values. If you want a perfect foreign trade balance, do it. That is a very productive way of thinking.
Alexander Dugin explores the complex legacy of Ernst Jünger, a titan of German modernism, focusing on the concept of the ‘Worker,’ a central figure that encapsulates Jünger’s views on politics, existentialism, and the transformative struggles of the twentieth century.
I would like to say a few words about the intellectual message that stands out through Dasha, her life, her projects and aspirations, and the depths and heights of her heart as embodied in her diary and expressed in the two main ideas which I will now present.
The XV BRICS summit made a historic decision to admit 6 more countries into the organisation - Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. This effectively completed the formation of the core of a multipolar world.
Alexander Dugin argues that the collapse of the unipolar world signals the beginning of a grand metamorphosis, as the fading light of Western liberalism gives way to the awakening of ancient traditions, deep civilizational identities, and the promise of a vibrant, multipolar era full of boundless possibilities.
What happened at the XV BRICS Summit in Johannesburg is truly historic. Even if the President of Russia, the founder of BRICS, did not take part in it, it is still a turning point in modern history. The world order is changing before our eyes. Let us parrot the meaning of the ongoing tectonic changes.
100 days of Trump - enormous effort to win the evil. Evil is still here. But who doubted that? It is a long way. Don’t give up, don’t lose hope. There is no way back. Die is cast.
I thank you all from my heart all those who commemorate the tragic day 20 august 2022 when my daughter Darya was brutally killed by Ukrainian terrorist woman. I thank all my friends and friends of Darya for Your condolences and sharing my deep sorrow. I also thank you for publishing the different books written by Dasha or dedicated to her memory.
Macron visited the Masonic Grand Lodge of France (Scottish Rite). In his speech, he attacked the Dark Enlightenment theory of Curtis Yarvin and Nick Land, as if he were fighting Trump himself. Until yesterday, mentioning the word “mason” was seen as a clear sign of conspiracy theory.
Alexander Dugin explains Plato’s image of the soul and its political meaning.
