From the Preface:
“A compilation of thee essays, written between 2024 and 2025, which examine the philosophy of pathei-mathos advanced by David Myatt following his post-2009 rejection of extremism and which rejection was the consequence of his own pathei-mathos; that is, of his learning from past and personal experiences. The titles of the three essays are self-explanatory given that his philosophy is based on a rejection of ‘causal abstractions’ in favour of pathei-mathos and empathy. The essays are: (i) A Radical Philosophy, (ii) The Hubris Of Abstractions, and (iii) Abstractions, The Way Of Pathei-Mathos, And The Modern World. The compilation includes two essays by Myatt – Religion, Exegesis, And The Fallacy Of Appeal To Authority, and A Fundamental Question: Quid Est Veritas – which are relevant to the subjects under discussion.”
