🥀 Natalia Melentyeva, mother of Daria Dugina (Platonova):
Daria Dugina's father dedicated his 24-volume series of works, Noomachia, to the study of the Logos of civilisations, the paradigms of human history. And Daria grew up with it, assimilating from an early age a taste for Tradition and vertical ontologies. Daria was born and raised in a family of philosophers of which she was and still is an organic and integral part. She is an eternal rising star of Russian thought. All the sharpest questions thrown up by toxic modernity and the post-modernity of the western twilight are answered by the great traditionalists of the 20th century: René Guénon, Julius Evola, Mircea Eliade, Ernst Jünger, Lucian Blaga, Emile Cioran, Louis Dumont, Georges Dumezil, Alain de Benoit and dozens of other refined thinkers.
He saw the traditionalists as those pioneers of Mind in 20th century history, who tried to understand the sinking of the ship of humanity as a transition from the spiritual paradigm of Tradition (Antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance) to the materialistic, individualistic and anti-hierarchical paradigm of the Modern Age, and then to the eroding paradigm of the Modern Age that is the Postmodern Age.
My daughter, Daria Platonova Dugina, was deeply interested in all these topics. She dedicated articles, reports, texts, fragments of her unfinished dissertation to them. In the near future, I hope to publish a book with her philosophical and historical-philosophical texts (reports, articles, excerpts)....
Daria Dugina was in the vanguard of the war of wits, on the intellectual 'frontier', as she liked to say, in the space of the battles of paradigms, ideas, civilisations; she was a true knight of the intellectual front, a true 'philosopher-guardian', as Plato called philosophers, because they guarded the highest thing man has: his intellectual dignity, his right to freedom, to thought, to the protection of the highest human values, to access, by climbing the ladder of contemplation of the highest principles, the entire volume of what in Platonism is called Truth, Good, Justice, Beauty, Goodness.
