When captured and articulated, the numinous is the basis of religion and culture. But in our age of religious unbelief and cultural decline, where do we find the numinous sources of spiritual and cultural renewal? According to Christopher Pankhurst's \u003cem\u003eNuminous Machines\u003c\/em\u003e, the answer is all around us -- along the margins and even in the dregs of modern culture -- if only we have eyes to see.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNuminous Machines\u003c\/em\u003e collects thirteen essays and four short stories in which Christopher Pankhurst descrys the numinous from a number of different angles--philosophy, religion, Traditionalism, magic, visual art, classical and popular music, contemporary literature, and even the spirit of place. Pankhurst uses such figures as Spengler, Wagner, Nietzsche, Sibelius, Giacinto Scelsi, James MacMillan, Damien Hirst, Alan Garner, David Myatt, Aleister Crowley, Ananda Coomaraswamy, and even Derrida and Stephen King to open our minds and sharpen our discernment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNuminous Machines\u003c\/em\u003e establishes Christopher Pankhurst as one of the leading theorists and critics of the New Right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Pankhurst\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1940933447\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781940933443\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Counter-Currents Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/10\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Christopher Pankhurst","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48066104819967,"sku":"9781940933443","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fe7c144e-a259-40d7-8c55-46e67b63c5cc.jpg?v=1768677907","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/numinous-machines-christopher-pankhurst-9781940933443","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
