Influences


Depuis plus de trente ans, Alain de Benoist poursuit méthodiquement un travail d'analyse et de réflexion dans le domaine des idées. Ecrivain, journaliste, essayiste, conférencier, philosophe, il a publié plus de 50 livres et plus de 3000 articles, aujourd'hui traduits dans une quinzaine de langues différentes.

Ses domaines de prédilection sont la philosophie politique et l'histoire des idées, mais il est aussi l'auteur de nombreux travaux portant notamment sur l'archéologie, les traditions populaires, l'histoire des religions ou les sciences de la vie.

Diversité et « diversité »

Mathieu Bock-Côté parle souvent d’« idéologie diversitaire » pour désigner l’idéologie à l’œuvre dans la société « multiculturelle » ou « inclusive », digne prolongement de la « société ouverte » chère à Karl Popper. Il le fait à juste titre et en bon Québécois, car c’est au Canada que l’ancien Premier ministre Justin Trudeau s’est flatté, suivant les recommandations du rapport Bouchard de 2008, d

Quotes by Alain de Benoist  (?)

“One who criticises capitalism while approving of immigration, of which the working class is its first victim, would do better to remain silent. One who criticises immigration while remaining silent regarding capitalism should do the same.”
Alain de Benoist

“There is no need to ”believe” in Jupiter or Wotan—something that is no more ridiculous then believing in Yahweh however—to be pagan. Contemporary paganism does not consist of erecting altars to Apollo or reviving the worship of Odin. Instead it implies looking behind religion and, according to a now classic itinerary, seeking for the “mental equipment” that produced it, the inner world it reflects, and how the world it depicts as apprehended. In short, it consists of viewing the gods as “centers of value” and the beliefs they generate as value systems: gods and beliefs may pass away, but the values remain.”
Alain de Benoist, On Being a Pagan

“The promotion of ‘average’ individual causes a general levelling down.”
Alain de Benoist, The Problem of Democracy
