Everyone knows that Kiev was the thriving capital city of Christian Eastern Europe when Moscow was a few log cabins strewn along a river. Everyone knows that Ukraine is winning the war and that Putin has had five heart attacks, two strokes and is dying of three different types of cancer. Everyone knows that has isolated and not able to think rationally. Everyone knows that Zelenskyy is a war hero lives a simple life in his battle fatigues among his soldiers, while corrupt Putin is a billionaire. That is our western truth.
      Seriously? Historical revisionism? The only type of historical scholarship is historical revisionism. Ask any historian.
      That's the thesis of Dugin in a nutshell. Civilization has its own history and therefore its own truth. History is the only truth. And somehow we all have to learn to live with each other without trying to conquer and cancel each other.

      Dugin has been totally misrepresented and slandered in the mainstream. I remember reading his Wikipedia page many years ago, describing him as a fascist and (having listened to him) thinking there is a reason they are vilifying him. I think he is the most important thinker of our time, mainly because he is the most articulate and coherent critic of Liberalism (that thing that oppresses us now). He is a very serious and earnest thinker - the odd segue Mr Ebert attempted to exit the Ukraine conversation highlighted this (and I think showed up a cultural difference). Stick with him.

    • @jellevanbaardewijk7253
      @jellevanbaardewijk7253 2 года назад +7

      For Spengler, Dasein (Being) is first and Wachsein (waking being) is secondary. For Hegel, it is the opposite. In Hegelian terms: The Begriff (concept) is dominant in history. However, Hegel does acknowledge the importance of culture (Sittlichkeit in his terms) but not as profoundly thought through as Spengler. Spengler sees Hegel as a typical Faustian author because he integrates world history into his scheme. But Spengler is not as Eurocentric as Hegel. Spengler had much more intuitions regarding cultural differences and especially the ensoulment of people, which is visible in eg philosophy but also deeper, more social, related to non-rational ‘form languages’, eg architecture. Spenglers philosophy of history is more encompassing. Yet Hegels categories are further developed. Dasein/Wachsein is rather simplistic compared to Hegels notion of freedom or Geist.

      @@johnebert5627 Much obliged. I think that would be great. It's something I've been thinking about for a while now. Particularly the aspect of what seems to be Hegel's extremely linear historiography. And of course since reading Spengler 4-5 years ago, I think his more cyclical theory of analysis is far superior than anyone else I've read on the subject.
      With Hegel however, I do see a great deal of value even amongst the linear or 'progressive' view of history as a whole. Although again I lean much toward the cyclical view.
      I realize that they aren't necessarily approaching the topic in the same way either. I feel like Spengler is more preoccupied with the process, so to speak, of the civilization more broadly. At the same time I do see Hegel's dialectics applicable within Spengler's theory of history too.

      It's true modernists are anti-Platonic. But modernists are also anti-Aristotlian( they distort Aristotle). The Renaissance Interpretation considered Aristotle as different from Plato. But the "neo-platonists" didn't consider Aristotle as irreconcilable from Plato. For eg. Aristotle also uses the word "another world"( but he phrases it in a different way. He names it "sublunary world" in his Physics for the domain that is subject to change. This can also be seen in Thomas's account. In the Middle Ages they believed in that everything above the moon was not subject to change. They also believed thay there was four elements: air, fire, water and earth. It was a different world). Many modern thinkers, reinterpret ancient Philosophers acc. to their own pre-existing views( I think "modern" means "just now", according to etymology account I was able find.

    @paavokuronen87 2 года назад +7

    Very interesting interview. I have also been very interested in Dugin's thought, and his personality for several years now. I will write in to this comment some of the thoughts I've had regarding his work and personality over the years.
    There is a kind of a mystical text on the internet by Dugin called "Nouse, supi" ("Rise, raccoon dog") which has been published only in Finnish as far as I know. It caught my attention and had some very profound insights into the mystical North, connecting it with sleep paralysis, nostalgia, mythical Hyperborea, and many other things. Reading it, it felt like Dugin really had some great insight into the Finnish soul. I have not read his book The History and Worldview of the Finno-Ugric Civilization, but I am very interested in what he has to say there.
    Mr. Dugin is of course a somewhat controversial figure in Finland due to his book Foundations of Geopolitics for the Russian military, where he outlined a plan to make Finland part of Russia again. Because of this book and especially the short section concerning Finland, Mr. Dugin is feared by many people, he is seen as dangerous, even his ideas are seen as dangerous, and, it is suggested he has this agenda of imperial conquest whether he openly admits it or not. It would be great if Dugin's idea of dialogue between the peoples would happen, so that all countries and peoples could understand each others perspectives and wars could be avoided. Unfortunately the Finns, or rather those international globalists who wield such incredible influence on the mind of the Finnish people through their mass communications systems, don't seem to be interested in understanding the Russian position, and so they resort to cheap propaganda, name-calling, accusations of people who want to understand Russia of being fifth column, working for the enemy, etc.
    One very interesting idea Dugin had was the Fourth Political Theory, I think it is an open question, which is calling people to participate intellectually in creating this 4th political theory. When it comes to the people being the subject of the revolution, or the movement let's say, this is great, absolutely. It's the people, not the elites, not the special interest groups, not the globalists, but the people, who grow from the land and are a part of the land, the people are part of the living space, and it is time for this living space and the people it produces to wake up and reclaim their land, from this "liberal" ideological system, which of course has turned into its own opposite, as hegelian dialectics predict would happen, all thought-forms always turn into their own opposites in the dialectical process of history, so it's natural liberalism has become anti-liberalism which wants to shut people into their homes and turn the whole planet into a kind of prison, with constant surveillance of movement, surveillance of the use of funds, and so forth and so on.
    Dugin's answer to the rotten liberal ideological system, as exemplified by the Anglo-American Sea-Empire, is to unite the scattered remnants of the two failed ideologies, fascism and communism. From this pseudo-alchemical process the new synthesis of the fourth political theory will emerge, against liberalism, and what it represents to Dugin: that is extreme individualism, anti-traditionalism, and indeed in some Christian sense The Anti-Christ, Satan, Sodom, The Tower of Babel, and so on. In the idealized Russian imagination, Russia stands for traditional humanity and against the child trannies, pride parades, post-birth abortions and other abominations, cyborgs, human-animal hybrids and so on. However, in this era of conspiracy theories and paranoia, Dugin can also become the subject of conspiracy theories, for example relating to his connection with Thelema, Alisteir Crowley and the world of the occult. Is Dugin some kind of a warlock?
    It is all very fascinating, but I would say the fourth political theory, which must now emerge, should rather be a synthesis of all the three former ideologies, including liberalism. Liberalism can not be seen as all bad, but the positive kernel of this ideology must be understood and embraced, liberalism can not be thought of only as a ideological-geopolitical empire of the 20th and the 21st centuries, but especially people in the west and Europe need to go back to their roots, when liberalism really got going in the 1700s and 1800s when nationalism, liberalism and democracy started to form. I think this great period of change we've entered can be compared with the Renaissance, the Reformation, or the Enlightenment. Dugin would probably say that the Enlightenment was a mistake, a horrible departure from tradition which led to the catastrophe of modernity, but I think we must see it as a necessary misstep, something which we learned from, something which was necessary for the evolution of human consciousness. Yes, but it is necessary that the prodigal son be lost first, so that he can return to his fathers house. Without the fall, there is no redemption, and thus if this enlightenment, liberalism, democracy was a fall, then it still was a necessary fall and a necessary step in the dialectic, the meaning of which must also be understood and integrated, not rejected. If modernity was a nightmare, then all the more we need to try to understand its meaning when we finally wake up.
    I think, that this New Awakened Civilization which will arise from the ashes of the old order, must start as a purely intellectual, or spiritual movement, and it indeed already has started, as the "golden chain" of philosophy has been re-discovered, the dialectical and mystical traditions of thought which have been buried underground, or in the marginal, are making a comeback. It seems many people are becoming interested in mysticism, and in dialectical thinkers like Hegel, Jung, and Steiner. Europe is coming alive again, the Spirit is coming alive again, under oppression it grows stronger, in the darkness it shines all the brighter. As we learn to understand each other's cultures from the inside, for example as Finns we should also learn about Russian poetry, literature, philosophy, to understand their point of view from the inside, not just make these war propaganda caricatures how Russians are always war-like, deceiving, conquering and plundering criminals and an eternal threat. This real Russian threat can only be neutralized through dialogue, friendship, and genuine diplomacy, but it is the globalists who don't want peoples to come to peace. It is true that Russia is more authoritarian, but then in East Asia there are even more authoritarian and despotic societies, and the west simply can not try and force its individualism on them. However, if this dialogue between peoples is allowed to happen, then the best ideas will win eventually, if the process of the dialectic is allowed to play out without censorship and manipulation attempts by forces who do not care about truth, but only about power over others. The proponents of individualism must speak too, let all viewpoints be heard and considered. The east and the west, the north and the south, all of human peoples and civilizations should come to a serious dialogue, and a serious dialectical process with each other for the good of humanity.
    Dugin says he does not like Zizek, but I think the Dugin-Zizek debate would be an extremely interesting super-event. We saw Zizek vs Peterson, and clearly Zizek defeated the Canadian thinker, but we also saw Dugin debate Bernard Henri Levy and come out as the victor. So now that the semi-finals are over, it's time for Dugin and Zizek to debate. They are the only two public philosophers of the 21st century with truly global interest and impact. Their public debate could be the Socratic dialogue which catalyzes the thinking process of mankind, and awakens wisdom from her slumber, it could even unite the far left and the far right against the neo-liberal capitalist hegemony and possibly even bring peace between the east and the west.

    Hello John by coincidence I saw this video of the final duel scene in the good the bad and the ugly a few days after watching your conversation with Alexander Dugin ruclips.net/video/00IhBagFmZ8/видео.html
    Clint Eastwood ( Blondie) incarnates very well the Apollonian logos ( aloof, calm); Ellie Wallach ( Tuco) is perfectly dyonisian ( double dealing, chaotic but lovable); Lee Van Cleef ( angel eyes) is the sybillian logos in its cold materialistic glory.
    As the critic points out, when the three men position themselves for the duel Angel Eyes implicitly trusts Blondie but never takes his eyes off from Tuco. During the duel, the dyonisian logos keeps nervously looking back and forth at the two men, while the sybillian logos is more scared of the appolonian trancendence.

We have to ask ourselves why he is so vilified and conclude that this is because his critique of its current tendency is so good it must be perverted in some way.
