This project is about restoring the humanities to an independent, classical field of study. It is the pet project of PJ Cornell, who is a musician and philosopher.
About PJ Cornell
PJ Cornell graduated from Rice University on May 12th, 2007 with BA degrees in Slavic Studies and Policy Studies, as well as a BMus in Composition. At that time, he also received a military commission as an Infantry Officer in the Texas Army National Guard. After deploying to Iraq in 2009-2010, he established a piano studio and began creating a body of musical and philosophical work that he continues to grow to this day. In 2015, he attended the University of Dallas for three semesters. While there, he pursued graduate degrees in Philosophy and Industrial and Depth Psychology. He never finished, but his time there strongly influenced him in a phenomenological direction.
The New Academy is his primary effort at this time.
Invitation
All scholars and academics are invited to participate in this project. There is one stipulation: contributors to this project must not be captive to the current academic status quo. The premise of this project is about stepping away from the current academic establishment which is supported by the various private foundations, NGOs and trans-national forums which implement Frankfurt School-inspired visions of the future.
This project is specifically about rejecting “wokeness,” as well as any narratives that explicitly seek to undermine national, cultural and individual sovereignties; it is, in a real sense, a Westernist embrace of Duginism.
About Alexander Dugin
Alexander Dugin is a Russian political philosopher. What makes him unique is that he has been able to apply the broad phenomenological tradition to real politic, and has managed to exert significant influence over Slavic current events. His ideas are specifically Eastern, but this project acknowledges him as an important influence. We broadly share his ideas about the desirability of a multi-polar globe.
