/lit/ - Literature

>If God were the conclusion of a syllogism, I would not feel compelled to adore Him.

>Civilization is what old men manage to salvage from the onslaught of young idealists.

>Hierarchies are celestial. In hell all are equal.

>Modern history is the dialogue between two men: one who believes in God, another who believes he is a god.

>If one does not believe in God, the only honest alternative is vulgar utilitarianism. The rest is rhetoric.
Nietzsche was an idiot.

Any good reactionary/conservative/traditionalist stuff in Spanish?

What does /lit/ think of him?
>"Modern individualism is nothing but claiming as ones own the opinions everyone shares"
>"The true aristocrat is the man who has an interior life. Whatever his origin, rank or fortune."

Is there anyone else like Nicolás Gómez Dávila I can read? I hate that I have to go back 200 years to find similar ideas.

Was there anyone like Nicolás Gómez Dávila in the 20th century or was he a singular figure?

Is Nicolás Gómez Dávila the only modern reactionary writer?

has someone here read him? if so, did you like his aphorisms?

Has anyone here read his works? I see him referenced very often as a modern representative of political theorists like Donoso Cortes and Joseph De Maistre. I was thinking reading him in Spanish, so if an anon is familiar with the difficulty of his writing/which works would be the best to begin with, that would be great.

What do you think about him?

Why haven't his aphorisms been translated into English?

Nicolas Gomez Davila.

>Only religion can be popular without being vulgar.

>Men are less equal than they say, and more than they think.

>The idiot loses his hopes, never his illusions.

>Power doesn't corrupt, it unlocks latent corruption.

>The artist doesn't compete with his peers, he struggles with his angel.

>Any individual with "ideals" is a potential murderer.

>All literature is contemporary, for the reader who can read.

Nicolas Gomez Davila - Escolios a un texto implicito.

Olavo de Carvalho and Nicolas Gomez Davila.

Unfortunately, the second one didn't write more than aphorisms, and the first one became a meme philosopher in his native country thanks to his strange metaphysical ideas (that in no way discount his political philosophy in my opinion).

Where to start with Dávila? Has anybody read something from him? How did you like it etc.?

I'm surprised pic related never replaced Stirner as le board maymay
