Dugin Against Dugin: A Traditionalist Critique of the Fourth Political Theory by

Description: Dugin Against Dugin by Charles Upton, John Andrew Morrow Dugin against Duginis the most detailed critique yet published of the theories of Russian political leader and philosopher Aleksandr Dugin. His critics call him "mysterious, dangerous"--but he is no mystery to those who have preserved an instinct for the Unity of Truth, and can therefore see how his ideas both relate to one another and contradict each other.Charles Upton is an exponent of traditional metaphysics, a veteran of the U.S. peace movement, a Muslim, a Sufi, and as a native-born American. No critic of Aleksandr Dugin is more in sympathy with his essential worldview; none is more outraged by what hes done with it. Thats why the author has confronted him on every level, in nearly every field that Dugin has chosen to address. Dugin has made a valiant attempt to ground his politics in metaphysics. Unfortunately, his metaphysics are inverted, his view of Orthodox Christianity heretical, his image of Islam twisted, and his flirtation with Satanism all too obvious. No contemporary political theorist has faced the doom of Man more bravely; no social critic has seen the evils of extreme Postmodern Liberalism more clearly--yet he can provide no real alternatives. He has deviated from what traditional metaphysicians René Guénon and Julius Evola called the Primordial Tradition, and turned instead to deception and self-contradiction.Dugin against Duginshines a light on the transformation of religion and the peace movement in the U.S. over the past half-century, the 180-degree inversion of the American Left, the dangers and potentials of the Alt Right, and what true American patriotism might look like in the 21stcentury. It presents traditional metaphysics as a liberation from political ideology, expands on Guénons "science of Apocalypse," and recounts the history of the Covenants Initiative--an international peace movement co-founded by the author in 2013. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Review Charles Upton is the preeminent, living intellectual heir to the great French metaphysician René Guénon. In Dugin against Dugin, Upton offers a lucid appraisal of Aleksandr Dugin and his diverse and often contradictory doctrines from a traditional intellectual and spiritual perspective. Upton is able to look into the chaotic abyss of Dugins evolving philosophical views to offer his readers discernment and clarity. He wields his pen as an astute political observer and commentator to counter Dugins Fourth Political Theory, withits amalgam of Fascism, Communism and Liberalism. This is the most important critique yet publishedof Dugin and others on the far-right who claim to represent traditional or perennial metaphysics. Zachary Markwith, author ofOne God, Many Prophets: The Universal Wisdom of Islam There is an epic quality to Charles Uptons struggle with Alexander Dugin. Like Gandalf awakening to the dark side of Sauron, Upton sees Dugins satanic shadow and is horrified. But Dugin against Dugin is not a purely negative or destructive critique. It is also an appreciation of (as well as warning about) the most interesting activist political philosopher of our time, by our leading critic of perverted spirituality--what Upton calls the "counter-initiation." Anyone who wonders what lies beyond the abyss of postmodernism should putDugin against Duginat the top of their reading list.
