Traditionalist

By Joseph A. Haddad

:: A Critique of Modernity:: 'Traditionalist' tackles the main issue of our modernist times: The erosion of language. We have already lost universal consensus over many traditionally 'fixed' concepts, like Beauty, Art, Moral Good and Moral Evil, Race, ... We can't even agree on what defines a man or a woman, in the age where Humanism, moral relativism and egalitarian ideologies hold sway over hard science. But since Tolerance is the creed of this new age, here is a good opportunity to test it. With 'conservative' movements that fear change and 'liberal' ones that hate their own past, the Traditionalist way calls for linking Past, Present and Future into one constant life pulse, where left and right, past and future exist in a balanced state. Such state is possible through exercising will over matter, following unchanging moral codes, reconnecting with reality and recognizing the importance of hierarchy. In short, we must overcome our personal demons without losing what makes us human. 'Traditionalist' is a collection of essays exploring Culture, Politics and Art. It challenges established modernist concepts and overturn Modernist dogma in the age of the inverted pyramid -The age of Modernity.Joseph Haddad is a Lebanon-based arts teacher, designer and Illustrato
