2,997 words Who is behind all this summer’s protests of ordinary white British people outside asylum hotels and hostels right across the nation?

Seated Socrates, fresco from ancient Ephesus 1,732 words Sometimes the most momentous truths can be established with the simplest arguments. A good example is Plato’s argument in his little-known dialogue Euthydemus  for why philosophy, the pursuit of wisdom, is more important than any other pursuit. I found this argument completely convincing. It shattered and remade […]

Zionism in Steady Decline

2,550 words The forecast is looking pretty cloudy for Zion. For the last century, they’ve wielded tremendous power, far beyond their numbers and largely behind the scenes.

The End of Jewish Power?

1,083 words The Expulsion of the Jews from Spain – Emilio Sala Francés, 1889 One of the most important lessons I learned from reading Bertrand de Jouvenel’s On Power is that revolutions happen against weak regimes, not against strong ones.

The Geopolitical Ghost of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth

3,891 words The greatest ongoing tragedy of the 21st century is the Ukraine War. The war was and is utterly unnecessary.

Russia’s leader and […]

Overcoming the Will to Live: An Introduction to Schopenhauer Part 1

3,606 words Schopenhauer as Lebensphilosoph This introduction to the thought of Arthur Schopenhauer is not, strictly speaking, a part of the series on “Heidegger’s history of metaphysics” that I have been writing now for almost five years.
