Anne Jobert's «Le Retour d'Hermes» argues for reuniting modern science with European pagan traditions to create a more holistic and culturally integrated scientific understanding.
These ideas are intriguing, but I'm having a hard time fully understanding what she's getting at, and the practical implications of her ideas, without concrete examples. What would it look like, for instance, to integrate cultural and scientific knowledge? Even one example would be helpful these abstract ideas.
Very good question. This integration can be seen in the works of early European scientists who were not only exploring the natural world but were also deeply influenced by philosophical and theological considerations. For example, the ancient Greeks, such as Thales and Archimedes, developed scientific concepts while simultaneously creating technologies and machines that reflected a deep engagement with both practical and metaphysical questions. Similarly, during the Renaissance, figures like Leonardo da Vinci combined artistic expression with scientific exploration, suggesting that knowledge in this period was viewed as an integrated whole, not a fragmented discipline. These examples are presented by Jobert in the text.
Thus, integrating scientific and cultural knowledge means acknowledging that scientific progress does not occur in a vacuum but is influenced by, and in turn influences, the broader cultural, philosophical, and religious environments.
All this makes me want to try out my miserable French. She seems more than worth the effort.
The French New Right is the reason I jumped back into French. I took it in high school and college.
I'll polish my French if they're talking Pagan stuff.
I hate the femen, anti weapons & religion stuff.
They've been talking about paganism since the 60s
Do they support honor killing?
No, they're white.
Germanic simps don't deserve survival then.
Greco-Roman Patriarchy had both right to kill & veils.
What's the point of being Pagan if you follow Christian legal & marital practices?
You seek a new aesthetic not political ascendancy.
--
You seek the right to violently expel foreigners but no right to violence in regulating your own "clan".
This is contradictory and why you keep losing.

I hate niggers.
And who is the Germanic/North European equivalent to Hermes?
Wotan/Woden/Othinn/Odin!
Is there an English edition of this book?
Unfortunately, no English translation exists at this time.
