The man who wrote that is another fine physiognomic specimen

Thank you for posting this. There is great irony in the idea of an ugly man lecturing on aesthetics. Stupid people will cavil that the content of ideas is separate from one's appearance; not so for humans.

>aesthetic has anything to do with the physiognomy
Thanks for exposing yourself as an absolute brainlet

>Right wingers actually respect the thought of this hideous cretin.

Please just dispose of him already

Forgot pic

Apparently the right wing intellectuals are full on chads like this creature.

Probably not a road you want to go down.

>>14548710
I've never heard of that mole-like creature before but I'll be sure to put him on my blacklist

Isn't this the Jew who hated jazz so much he wanted to weaponize it?

How did the altright become so feminine?

Guenon is peak aesthetic physiognomy traditionalism.

Look at that fine übermensch

>>14548628
centuries ago they woule just topped him. it says a lot about our decline we let him write and pay attention to his writing

>>14548716
Only esoteric hitlerist fags like atom waffen like Himmler, and they're all ugly weirdos themselves.
Most Neo National Socialists hate Himmler for his pagan larping and backstabbing Hitler

>>14548721
Adorno wasn't a jew.

>>14548859
He looks like a happa

>>14548628
this is an overused and retarded meme, you could just as easily contrast Camus and Heidegger

but it never ceases to amaze me that people will cancel Kant for racism but don't cancel Sartre and other French intellectuals for being fervently and publically pro-pedophilia and Sartre and De Beauvoir in particular for grooming teenage girls. it's completely unjustifiable.

Stupid fucking thread

Socrates was ugly too

>>14549055
socrates was a fucking NIGGER

>>14548645
why would anyone care what this fat idiot has to say about Junger lmao

>>14548628
>"Moreover, St Augustine added, it is in the sexual act that the sense of original sin most completely invades us. For in sexual arousal I am aware that my body is opaque to my will and in rebellion against it. In sex the body dominates and controls me, overwhelming me with shame at my obscene subservience. It is in the act that engenders us that our mortality is most sharply felt, and in which the rotting slimy character of the flesh is most shamefully presented to consciousness.
>"If we put together the more powerful of Sartre's observations - and those that play the most important role in his metaphysic of freedom - we are clearly not far from the Augustinian spirit: the spirit of the Christian anchorite raging against the pleasures of this world and yet uncertain that he has really renounced them. And the chilling awareness of defilement that turns the anchorite to God turns Sartre, who sees no God, to his lonely inner sanctum where the self is enshrined amid the cluttered icons of its own futile make-believe."

>people are just now discovering that philosophy and literature is all written by ugly nerds

>>14549096
Adorno only made that face because he knew where western culture was headed.

>>14549097
Just finished the Confessions
which of augustines works should I read next? I'm thinking City of God, but i'll take reccomendations

i too only buy my books to spunk on the portraits of the inside of the dust jacket

>>14548645
Is there anything more embarrassing than establishment-approved ideologues pretending to be faux-rebellious? Jünger did more against fascism, from the inside of Nazi Germany, no less, than Adorno ever did with his ridiculously self-righteous "Authoritarian Personality".

>>14549169
On Christian Teaching. OWC has an edition, IIRC.

>>14548698
Stop! You are going to upset the Christians!

>>14548628
>In the one case as in the other we draw a single conclusion; the premises for this conclusion are piled up massively in our instincts. The ugly is understood as a signal and symptom of degeneration: whatever recalls
degeneration, be it ever so remotely, causes the judgment “ugly” in us. Every sign of exhaustion, of heaviness, of age, of fatigue, every sort of unfreedom, such as a cramp or paralysis—above all, the smell, color, and shape of dissolution, of putrefaction, even if it is thinned out all the way into a symbol—all this provokes the same reaction, the value judgment “ugly.”

Is that the same as On Christian Dogma? I just pickes up a book from the library with On Christian Dogma and City of God

>>14549097
Kek.

The make believe is the sexless waking world and it is absolutely stuffed to the gills with icons. Sex is freeing because it regresses the performer to a lesser being. There is freedom in the disparity of states between the tyranny of absolute reason that commands the higher being and the slavish compulsion of the flesh. Man is not a fucking monolith. One spirit can commit to the performance of two very disparate roles when appropriate. Augustine's repulsion seems autistic. He couldn't bear feeling the descent into a lesser creature because it was a change from stability and should be feared.Nothing scares a man who values his reason too highly like the fact he shares a space with a creature who cares not for his damned reason at all.

She LITERALLY poops with that butt and shes displaying it like it's something to be proud of.

>>14549885
