New Ideological Stakes

Description

The political frameworks that divided postwar Europe were hollow simulacra, and their ideological premises have been superseded by a new battlefield of ideas and will. According to Guillaume Faye, Europe stands on the threshold of an epochal confrontation over the future of its civilization and a new revolution in consciousness.

In this swift and cogent manifesto penned in 1985, Faye presciently identifies three challenges facing the heirs of European civilization: the tensions inherent in multiracial society, the cultural war waged against European memory and tradition, and the rise of a technomorphic society whose technological capacities exceed the limits of established paradigms. Against the egalitarian and universalist consensus shared by the old left and right alike, Faye calls for a “neo-European” project rooted in the continent’s pagan and Faustian spirit.

Anticipating Faye’s later vision of archeofuturism, New Ideological Stakes is a riveting summons from one of the imaginative pioneers of the European New Right.
