Christianity, War, Paganism, And Honour
(pdf)
While David Myatt’s post-2012 writings about extremism have (i) been prejudicially rejected by individuals of a particular political persuasion and (ii) ignored, or even prejudicially rejected, by academics who have mentioned him usually in the context of certain unproven allegations, a most interesting and neglected aspect those post-2012 writings concern war, Catholicism, and ‘good and evil’ in the context of Christianity, Islam, the modern State and his own pagan philosophy of pathei-mathos. Most interesting, for five reasons. First, because when studied without preconceptions they complement and extend his philosophy of pathei-mathos; second, because they are based on his personal experience of Christianity and Islam; thirdly because they reveal his scholarly knowledge of those subjects; fourthly, because the concept of the numinous is embedded in such writings, and fifthly because they not only compliment his writings about his personal rejection of extremism but elegantly refute the aforementioned prejudicial rejection of his post-2012 writings.
