Hangö, Finand: Hango?-bladets tryckeri, 1930. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Soft cover. Very Good. An extremely rare pamphlet published in Finland by the Swedish-speaking supporters of Finland's fascist/pro-Germany political organisation, The Lapua Movement. The Swedish title translates into English as, "The Lapua movement, its origin and development, its aims and possibilities: Finland's Swedish population and the Lapua movement". Stapled wrappers, pp. 23. The Lapua Movement was a brutal anti-communist organisation which sought to elevate the "White" principles of the earlier civil war, including, Anti-communism. Lutheranism, and Finnish nationalism. Initially it attracted sympathetic support from prominent members of the establishment but its increasingly violent activities - not least the kidnapping and murder of Social Democrat politician Onni Happonen - could not sustain this and the movement was ultimately outlawed after a failed coup-d'etat attempt in 1932.… Read More

"Contemporary Thomists—notably, Gilson and Maritain—have spoken of their doctrine as the authentic existentialism or, at the only philosophy of being in which existence receives its rightful place." But Collins also laments that "the patient, philosophical spadework has been brushed aside by some Christian and anti-Christian writers in favor of apologetic warfare."The work consists of six sections: I. Existential Backgrounds: Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Husserl, II. Sartre's Postulatory Atheism, III. Jaspers' Quest of Transcendence, IV. Marcel's… Read More
