The Superhumanist Myth

by Guillaume Faye

Guillaume Faye argues that the historical regeneration of Europe and its return to identity necessitates a departure from Christian egalitarianism and a revival of paganism through the framework of superhumanism.

This is the ninth part of Guillaume Faye’s essay ‘The New Ideological Challenges’, published in 1988. Also read parts one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and eight.

The historical regeneration of Europe and its return to identity may not be the work of this generation. Even if we, as active pessimists, must work on it with tenacity, we must not forget Hölderlin’s words: the meditating God hates premature growth.
