The scholia are great, but in this book ("The Authentic Reactionary") they form only a small fraction of the text. Most of the book consists of the reflections of the author (not Davila). The reflections are well written and good in themselves, but i ...more

Quotes by Daniel Schwindt (?)

“When we refer to Liberalism, then, we must be understood as referring to the continuous and wide-ranging tradition of the Enlightenment, a tradition which has gone to form the political and social consensus of the modern world, for there is no developed nation that is not a child of this original Liberalism. It informs and dictates the positions and goals of both the American Right and the American Left. If the former seems by its rhetoric to despise it, we must simply remember Davila's observation: "Today's conservatives are nothing more than Liberals who have been ill- treated by democracy.”

“The specifically adult faculties, like the outer layers of the tree, serve to guide and protect the innocence, openness, and life of the soul. He who uses those faculties to destroy his innocence ends by destroying himself.”
― Daniel Schwindt, Holocaust of the Childlike: The Progress of a Spiritual War
