On Being a Pagan

Exploring the concept of paganism, Alain de Benoist presents a compelling manifesto that engages with the historical debate between monotheism and polytheism. Drawing from diverse philosophical sources, including Nietzsche and Heidegger, the work delves into ancient philosophy and mythology to construct a unique pagan theology rooted in Indo-European traditions. Rather than simply surveying pre-Christian religions or advocating for modern neo-paganism, it offers a rigorous intellectual framework for understanding paganism's significance in contemporary thought.
