I want to welcome everyone back to the Pete Cignon-as show.

Thomas is here, and we're going to take a little diversion away from the Continental Philosophy series,

but as Thomas is about to explain, it relates to it.

So take it away, Thomas.

Hey, first of all, how are you doing today?

I'm doing pretty well, man.

Health is better? Yeah, I've been feeling pretty well. I mean, I still have like respiratory symptoms. I can't seem to shake. But yeah, overall, I feel pretty well, man. Cool. I want to talk about the radical traditionalist school of philosophy, which is a discrete intellectual tradition. And a lot of people don't understand that. And those that understand that basic posture with, they don't really

understand what it is. And part of that's because like pop academe, they claim that everybody from

like Nietzsche to Alexander Dugan to a Ellen to Benoit to

you know Edmund Burke is part of this thing called traditionalism that's not correct

you know we're talking about a very discreet body of thought. I'd include, I didn't include, I'd include

Heidegger and Joseph de Maestra in there, too, although some people probably wouldn't,

but the same imperatives that frame radical traditionalism, its metaphysics and its ethics,

and it's partial, it's about the human condition, translated to a political, theoretical

construct. You know, that's what De Maestra and that's what Heidegger is. And De Maestro also,

people like Carl Loeth and people like Isaiah, Berlin, they claimed he was the progenitor

of what became fascist thought. I actually accept that. That's true. You know, obviously

they were suggesting that in punitive terms, loath was not a liberal he you know he's somebody who's ill-understood kind of like leo strausses and they were they were avid correspondence when i say ill-understood i mean the fact that they were anti-liberal doesn't make them right-wing or like didn't make them pro-fascist or

something quite the contrary but you know so joseph de maestra he's essential to understand

the position that i consider to be the the the right-wing perspective or aspect of the resistance as it stands contra globalism.

Okay, it's not conservatism and it's nothing to do with that.

Okay, radical traditionalists aren't trying to conserve things.
