Important work.

Guenon, Evola, Spengler and above all Heidegger are the europeans philosophers that influenced his philosophy

Revealing talk. E.g. that Dugin’s superficial reading of Franco-postmoderns (or whatever you wanna call those guys) makes the same basic mistake that someone like Allan Bloom does that the concerted attack on the stability of master narratives stems from anything other than a recognition of the incredible staying power of those narratives, in fact their near invulnerability to frontal attack; as opposed to the moderns proper who thought you could just chuck all that out in favor of reason and enlightenment, and essentially start fresh at year zero. Also how it gets forgotten that the postmoderns were all Heidegger’s children and assiduous students, dedicated to finding a path between the Scylla of his volkish reaction to the modern dillema and the Charybdis of uber-Enlightenment “scientific socialism”. I mean that’s kind of my read on it anyway.
