THE DARK ENLIGHTENMENT?

(from elsewhere)

The Dark Enlightenment is a bit of a misnomer – neo-reaction is more accurate. It refers to a criticism of the Democratic State, Media, and Academy, complex and their use of pseudoscience, rational fallacy and propaganda; and is a rejection of the enlightenment promise of an aristocracy of everyone via democracy .

The term counter-enlightenment already has established meaning in intellectual history. And unfortunately, the alternative title “dark enlightenment , originally conceived as a bit of humor, has stuck.

While the original authors wrote using the form of continental philosophy (moral language), current authors (like myself) are writing in analytic (amoral), legal (amoral) and scientific (amoral) terms.

But in practical terms the purpose of the movement is a criticism of the failure of democracy as a suicide of the west. And a series of solutions for either returning to traditional European governments, or advancing to new alternatives.
