Book Description
You had no choice. You were born male. But being born male does not qualify you as a "man" and not all men are warriors either. What makes a man a warrior is his willingness to place himself between what he loves and anything that threatens his loves.But what if the threat has already landed?This enemy is as subtle as the air we breathe. It is called decadence. Its goal is to soften and weaken us through excessive indulgence and luxury. By the standards of most of the people who have ever lived on this planet, we live like kings. We drive in climate controlled "chariots". We live in climate-controlled houses. We carry cell phones which answer our questions within seconds. Fresh water and abundance of food are the norm. We do not hunt for our food nor do most of us farm our own lands. Most of us are seldom in any remote danger. Most of us can go days, weeks, or even years without having to exert ourselves physically. This enemy has taken the fight right out of us. Lulled us to sleep. Our souls have shriveled.To make things worse, countless men do not know who they are or what role they are meant to play. They had no one to show them the way. The virtues set before you are lessons learned through trial and error. They are tried and tested. They are designed as an ethos of sorts. A path toward noble manhood. These virtues are a resounding call to those who would choose the "hard path". Embrace them. Take up your mantle. It's time to get in the game.

Myth and the Making of Modernity
Author: Michael Bell
Publisher: Rodopi
ISBN: 9789042005839
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
The contributors to this collection of essays on the literary use of myth in the early twentieth century and its literary and philosophical precedents from romanticism onwards draw on a range of disciplines, from anthropology, comparative literature, and literary criticism, to philosophy and religious studies. The underlying assumption is that modernist myth-making does not retreat from modernity, but projects a mode of being for the future which the past could serve to define. Modernist myth is not an attempted recovery of an archaic form of life so much as a sophisticated self-conscious equivalent. Far from seeking a return to an earlier romantic valorizing of myth, these essays show how the true interest of early twentieth-century myth-making lies in the consciousness, affirmative as well as tragic, of living in a human world which, in so far as it must embody value, can have no ultimate grounding. Although myth may initially appear to be the archaic counterterm to modernity, it is thus also the paradigm on which modernity has repeatedly reconstructed, or come to understand, its own life forms. The very term myth, by combining, in its modern usage, the rival meanings of a grounding narrative and a falsehood, encapsulates a central problem of modernity: how to live, given what we know.

Russell Kirk
Author: Bradley J. Birzer
Publisher: University Press of Kentucky
ISBN: 0813166209
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 608
Book Description
Emerging from two decades of the Great Depression and the New Deal and facing the rise of radical ideologies abroad, the American Right seemed beaten, broken, and adrift in the early 1950s. Although conservative luminaries such as T. S. Eliot, William F. Buckley Jr., Leo Strauss, and Eric Voegelin all published important works at this time, none of their writings would match the influence of Russell Kirk's 1953 masterpiece The Conservative Mind. This seminal book became the intellectual touchstone for a reinvigorated movement and began a sea change in Americans' attitudes toward traditionalism. In Russell Kirk, Bradley J. Birzer investigates the life and work of the man known as the founder of postwar conservatism in America. Drawing on papers and diaries that have only recently become available to the public, Birzer presents a thorough exploration of Kirk's intellectual roots and development. The first to examine the theorist's prolific writings on literature and culture, this magisterial study illuminates Kirk's lasting influence on figures such as T. S. Eliot, William F. Buckley Jr., and Senator Barry Goldwater -- who persuaded a reluctant Kirk to participate in his campaign for the presidency in 1964. While several books examine the evolution of postwar conservatism and libertarianism, surprisingly few works explore Kirk's life and thought in detail. This engaging biography not only offers a fresh and thorough assessment of one of America's most influential thinkers but also reasserts his humane vision in an increasingly inhumane time.
