...Archeofuturism: to envisage a future society that combines techno-scientific progress with a return to the traditional answers that stretch back into the mists of time. This is perhaps the true face of post-modernity, as removed from attachment to the past as it is from the foolish cult of “keeping up with progress”: the harmonious union of the most ancient memory with the Faustian soul according to the logic of “and” rather than “or”. Intelligent traditionalism is the most powerful form of futurism — and vice versa. It is necessary to reconcile Evola and Marinetti, and do away with the notion of “modernity” produced by Enlightenment ideology. The Ancients must be associated not with the Moderns but with the Futurists.
— Guillaume Faye, Archeofuturism
Guillaume Faye’s Archeofuturism: European Visions of the Post-Catastrophic Age proposes a radical philosophical and political framework aimed at confronting the challenges facing peoples of European descent. Central to Faye’s thesis is the critique of the prevailing liberal order — which he characterises as egalitarian, democratically plebeian, and culturally homogenising — arguing that it threatens the survival of the White race. First published in French in 1998, the book sparked significant debate within the European New Right by challenging post-WW2 conservative assumptions and advocating a synthesis of traditional values and innovative social and technological advancements, a concept Faye named ‘Archeofuturism’. Faye’s work not only critiques Western liberalism and the damage from political inertia and unrestrained immigration but also anticipates catastrophic events due to the unsustainability of the current system, suggesting these crises as opportunities to implement his vision on a global scale.
