Salut fellow Jungerites!
I'm reading Camus book "L'homme re'volte'" looking for Stirner
references and, reaching page 228 (the edition is from Gallimard,
collection Folio/Essais) I find myself reading:
"Le seul homme de culture superieure qui ait donne au nazisme une
apparence de philosophie, Ernst Junger, a d'ailleurs choisi de formules
memes du nihilisme: <<La meilleure reponse a la trahison de la vie par
l'esprit, c'est la trahison de l'esprit par l'esprit, et l'une des
grandes et cruelles jouissances de ce temps est de participer a ce
traivail de destruction>>."
The essay continues and another reference to Junger is done in it.
I'm not quoting it in here because i had to transcribe more than I'm
willing to right now (sorry). Anyway, if this haven't come to discussion
in the list previously (if so, could someone gently point me were I can
find it?), from were is this quote? And, why not?, what do you think about
this? My perspective is that Camus made a slight reading of Junger and
jumped to conclusions.
greetings,
Ricardo Reis
