Nihilism and Monarchy

Alan said... The paragraph about God in the Constitution is pure gold - I've never seen the implications of the Constitution so well defined. Here is a link to Seraphim's document Nihilism. I don't agree with his view of Monarchy being the proper form of christian government but his analysis is quite penetrating. 9:29 AM

One Cosmos Incidentally, as reader Alan pointed out yesterday, hardcore traditionalists tend to prefer monarchy as the proper form of government, and although this is undoubtedly a nonstarter for Americans, the traditionalists have their reasons. I may discuss those reasons later, and although I must ultimately reject them, I certainly appreciate where they’re coming from. Traditionalists are concerned with the inevitable dark side of democracy--demagoguery, the tyranny of the stupid and emotional, the plummeting of standards, the loss of the spiritual center of civilization, etc. The question of how we reconcile tradition and progress is an absolutely critical one, so perhaps I will address it after we complete our four-part fall into nihilism. The future of civilization will depend upon how we balance the two. posted by Gagdad Bob at 8:15 AM 17 comments One Cosmos Under God Robert W. Godwin
