Entry: Is There Conservatism Beyond Christianity? (or how to book a mental vacation in Athens or Valhalla) Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/is_there_conservatism_beyond_christianity_or_how_to_book_a_mental_vacation#23234 Post contents: This is an incredibly slanderous article on Greek civilisation which lacks basic historical accuracy. If one wants to critique De Benoist's understanding of "paganism" then go ahead but don't make puerile comparisons between Christianity and Greco-Roman civilisation. Also, the "heartless" nature of Greek thought gave people like you the opportunity to express your thoughts and opinions. Would one call Plotinus heartless when he adopted 9 children? Would one call heartless the beautiful will Aristotle bequethed to his wife? Would one call hearltess the tragedies of Euripides? Would one call heartless the touching grave steles of ordinary Greek families? Would one call heartless the marriage vows found in the sands of Egypt of Greek couples? I will not venture into the authors misunderstanding of De Benoist. However, let me say it is truly appalling. Sent at: 2008 09 07
