Extremists : Studies in Metapolitics

Extremists: Studies in Metapolitics collects transcripts of nine of Jonathan Bowden's most compelling orations: on Thomas Carlyle, Gabriele D'Annunzio, Charles Maurras, Martin Heidegger, Julius Evola, Savitri Devi, Yukio Mishima, and Maurice Cowling, as well as his speech "Vanguardism: Hope for the Future." These speeches do not just explore the lives and thoughts of creative and exemplary individuals, they also illustrate three cardinal principles that Bowden repeatedly emphasized: First, political change depends upon metapolitical conditions. Second, cultural and political innovations take place on the extremes. Third, metapolitical extremists must think of themselves as vanguardists who lead the public mind to truth, not cater to illusions and folly.
