Alain de Benoist

Alain de Benoist is the leading thinker behind the European ‘New Right’ movement, a metapolitical school of thought he helped found in France in 1968 with the establishment of GRECE (Research and Study Group for European Civilisation). To this day, he remains its primary representative, even while rejecting the label ‘New Right’ since he considers himself to fall outside the Left/Right dichotomy. He lives in Paris and continues to write and give lectures and interviews. Arktos has previously published his books The Problem of Democracy (2011), Beyond Human Rights (2011), Manifesto for a European Renaissance (2012), Carl Schmitt Today (2013), On the Brink of the Abyss (2015), The Indo-Europeans (2016), View from the Right (2017), and Runes and the Origins of Writing (2018).
