Pagan Philosophy From a Radical Pagan Philosopher- In this essay I will explain what I mean by Radical, what I mean by Pagan, and what I mean by Philosophy. I hope all of you enjoy my blog titled Radical Pagan Philosophy.
Pagan Philosophy that is Radical, what does that mean? It means that my views are not politically correct. I couldn't care less what this society and culture holds to be sacrosanct. I will espouse views that seem to go against what is “good”. I will then argue what the majority hold to be good is just an arbitrary convention of the society that we are in. I view this society as sick and perverted, therefore its values mean little to me. I also view classical liberalism, Marxism, and Christianity as decadent for the Occident. I align myself strongly to the Traditionalist movement of Julius Evola and the Nouvelle Droite of Alain de Benoist. For these reasons, I call myself a radical.
Pagan Philosophy, what do I mean by the term Pagan? It means that my personal philosophy has certain key features. For the sake of brevity, I will make comments that hint at my metaphysics, epistemology, and existential outlook. I hold that Christianity’s over reliance on miracles to be indicative of a superstitious religion. I also find Christianity’s focus on supposed events in history rather than a system based upon an intelligent metaphysics make it at most an entertaining story. With that being said, I am also critical of materialism. I find it to be based on a simplistic view of John Locke’s empiricism from French Enlightenment philosophers. My metaphysical position is more spiritual with idealist leanings, that has strong affinities to Aryan / Indo-European Paganism. My existential outlook also finds beauty and value in the Pagan Weltanschauung. For these reasons, I call myself a pagan.
Pagan Philosophy, what do I mean by Philosopher? It means to be a lover of wisdom, which I believe to be of central importance to the Pagan Weltanschauung. The Pagan sage is an ideal that I strive towards, rather than the Christian saint, or the capitalist consumer. I live the contemplative life; it defines the very essence of my being. This is why I call myself a philosopher.
Though I just hinted at my philosophy, I hope this very terse description has both explained what I mean by radical pagan philosophy, and will further interest you in what I mean by radical pagan philosophy.
