No Apologies – Why Civilization Depends on the Strength of Men

  • Posted on:

Author: Anthony Esolen, 2022

In this book, Anthony Esolen discusses the innate nature of men and women and how their unique virtues complement each other. Focusing, primarily, on the masculine perspective, he writes about their duties to each other and to society. Speaking of civilizations need for strong men, he outlines how the lack there-of inevitably leads to the corruption of any culture or civilization. The requirement of men brings with it the responsibility of men. Esolen implores young men and fathers to grow into and live up to their God-endowed positions of authority.

“When fathers go absent, do not expect women to take their place. That is not possible. Individuals may do the best they can, but we have laws and customs for the generality, not for the exception.”

A simple gander online will reveal the obvious: there are many conflicting definitions people use to define “Race” and “Racist,” making it […]

The Enemy of America

For better or for worse, the title of this post could very easily have been “The Enemy of the World.” The combined fate of both Europe and America are, in many ways, inseparable. “The Enemy of Europe,” Published in 1953, is where Francis Parker Yockey asserted that Europe should view the Soviet Union as […]

Evola, Mishima, and the Modern Right

I will begin by stating the obvious: the United States is in bad shape. Many have written about the cause of our current predicament and more, still, on the solution. I am not so arrogant as to attempt to do here what others have done much better than what I could hope to do, […]

Musings on the Dilemma of Testimonies

Traditions are outward expressions of worldview and are vital to preserving culture and civilization. It is not a stretch to say that without them, there are no roots; no moor anchoring us to our fundamental beliefs. In short, there is no established core, and we can shape (in the case of our faith) Christianity […]
