‘Bolszewizm starożytności’, czyli chrześcijaństwo jako rewolucja. Perspektywa Nowej Prawicy Alaina de Benoist – wybrane aspekty

Paweł Bielawski

Studia Religiologica, Volume 54 Issue 2, 2021, pp. 181 - 194

https://doi.org/10.4467/20844077SR.21.012.14203

The topic of the article is the interpretation of Christianity by Alain de Benoist, thinker of the New Right. He believes that Christianity has brought about a revolution in the world-view of European peoples. Stating that it is ‘Paganism’ that was the original and authentic basis of European spirituality, mentality, and axiology, Benoist calls Christianity the “Bolshevism of Antiquity”. The article outlines the concepts of Christian desacralisation of the world, the inaugural dissociation, and the theory of progress. The analysis showed that the foremost revolutionary trait of Christianity is the radical dualism of the created and uncreated being, which is in direct contradiction with the pre- Christian / European ontological monism.
