ARCHEO-FUTURISM: AN HORS D’OEUVRE

What is archeo-futurism (with or without a hyphen)? The term points to a linking of the arche (the Greek word for foundation) and surging into the future. The word was first coined by the late Guillaume Faye, author of a book of that name and one time leading light of the French “New Right“ organization GRECE. How feasible is it to project a society which reconciles the traditions of the past, human identities and the natural environment with a recognition and acceptance of the power of science to enhance human lives and take us to the stars? Edith Tamworth will offer an Hors D’Oeuvre to Archeo-futurism. What writers highlight or illustrate what it proposes? Or warn against it? A delusion or a promise? How should we approach archeo-futurism?
