Daria Platonova Dugina — A Theory of Europe: A View of the New Right
In a world increasingly levelled by homogenisation, Daria Platonova Dugina retrieves the vibrancy of European culture by delving into the intellectual renaissance of the French New Right. Exploring the pioneering work of figures like Alain de Benoist and Guillaume Faye, Dugina traces their groundbreaking and provocative reimagining of identity, tradition, and belonging, where the spirit of ideas transcends the conventional boundaries of Left and Right. Through a “Gramscianism from the Right” approach, she analyses how the New Right’s critique of universalist ideologies and its visions of civilisational revival present a cultural counter-hegemony that values rootedness and organic community over the globalist paradigm.
In this unique collection of lectures, essays, and interviews, Dugina highlights the complex intersections of New Right thought with currents like National Bolshevism and Eurasianism, investigating the philosophical and geopolitical frontlines of the fracturing world order. Dugina takes readers on a far-reaching journey beyond the standard ideological spectrum, inviting a deeper understanding of identity politics in the contemporary age. Here, philosophy meets praxis, inspiring those searching for alternatives in today’s monotone world to revisit the foundations and peaks of Europe’s intellectual heritage.

One can ask what are the accomplishments of this New Right after many decades of it's existence? It is a purely intellectual movement where significant drop in level can be noticed today - where is Alain de Benoist of today? In a field of action it seems like only complete impotence can be noticed, if show-businessman Trump becoming a president of the USA is ignored. Taking Trump seriously in the context of this "new right" is probably a sign of significant dissolution inside this "right".
There is a need to acknowledge that there is no way to achieve renewal starting from scratch. Renewal is only possible with involvement of true traditional structures, which probably exist, but are probably still refusing to get involved, leaving the masses to their own devices. The only relevant idea in this context is "ride the tiger" from Evola, that of "traditionalists" without Tradition. Evola warned against expecting any kind of interesting results from various individual implementations of this idea.
