Candles in the Wind: On Religion and Belonging

 

The question of religion in relation to where one is from used to be not a metaphysical but rather a customs officer’s one. Nowadays, things seem to have changed. As numerous KT readers seem to be troubled by this relationship, we’ll attempt to throw some light on it – just a candle light, though. Don’t expect too much.

In addition, we talk about Eastern European peculiarities and overall historical situation; also we talk about misguided internet evangelists and Alt Righters.

Imperatrix Mundi: On Traditional Notion of Destiny pt. 2

In the second part of our investigation into traditional notions of destiny and Providence, we focus on Providence as the most intimate inner sanctum of the world and relation human destiny has to it. Also we point out the crucial error by which contemporary thinkers completely distort this relationship.

Left vs. Right and the Question of Rationality

We delve into question of curious ability of Leftist intellectuals to circumvent the massive crimes of their political favorites and still have debates with their opponents without this ever becoming an issue.

Is this accidental or is it due to inability of the political Right and Center to employ the right arguments?

Or is it something deeper than that?

KT, of course, opts for the third option.

Penultimate Times Blues: Nostalgia as Disclosure of Truth

With the help of KT’s Department of Eastern European Affairs and Keeping Asses in the Armchairs even nostalgia can reveal some important truths. The dissolution of Communism was not the only catastrophe that befell this peculiar part of the world. Let us inspect some more subtle and more sinister processes that slipped through in the wake of it and were anticipated by ill fated generation whose youth was forfeit at the dawn of the “New World Order”. We on KT are hell bent on redeeming that lost time – so we invite you to sink with us in the disclosure only true nostalgia can provide …

Wholesale Angels

All men crave knowledge by nature, that is the opening statement of Aristotle’s Metaphysics. Yet the good chunk of that great work, as well as some of the best passages ever written in metaphysics and theology, rather deal with the discipline of putting this craving in its natural confines, than attempting to incite it further.

In this podcast – an appendix to our ongoing series on traditional notions of destiny and Providence – we focus on attempts of those who try to cross this boundary and take more than is due to them; overstep the bounds of knowledge by not understanding its nature and its limits.

Strangely enough, those are people whose activities somehow always end up in a sort of religious marketing rendering them into wholesale agents on “the market of truth” with a claim to knowledge traditionally ascribed to angels – an total intuitive perception of the truth of the given subject and claim to prophetic insight.

They are wholesale angels, indeed. And they are so full of “spirit of prophecy”, that they cannot help but confuse the sound  of expiration coming from their bowels for the pouring forth of the Holy Spirit.

Windswept Podcast: On Unholy Indifference

KT proudly introduced new brand of podcasts in the universe of global podcasting: a windswept podcast, that is, audio recording combining articulate speech combating sounds of strong wind and occasional car engine. So, instead of nagging about sound quality, our faithful flock can appreciate how well we record environmental noise in the background of the poignant discussion of the mood disclosing what philosophers call nihilism: the mood of indifference.

Imperatrix Mundi: On Traditional Notion of Destiny pt. 1

“Nothing is without reason” – a sentence often pronounced and rarely believed in. Let us pronounce it and see how can it be demonstrated. In this two part essay we’ll approach the phenomenon of meaningful coincidences in human life, i.e. destiny, from the standpoint of traditional metaphysics.

One Eyed Men: Metapolitics and Metaphysics

In this podcast we focus on some notable qualities of our contemporary politico-philosophical prophets and their misconceptions. We argue that there indeed are few notable, yet quite unsavory, thinkers who correctly read the signs of the times, which gives them a significant edge over their opponents. However, their philosophical notions are based on – radically wrong – understanding of metaphysics as metapolitics.

Totalitarianism for Housewives

The common notion of totalitarianism tends to present the broad canvas of all-power state from which we should be wary. Yet, as with all things, totalitarianism begins at home. In this video, we’ll depict how  even housewives can develop the totalitarian mentality with no great effort; and how every argument for normalcy, on the contrary, requires supreme efforts.
