Luc-Olivier d'Algange
Luc-Olivier d'Algange (born May 30, 1955) is a French writer, poet and essayist.
Biography
Luc-Olivier d'Algange was born in Göttingen. His work (consisting of numerous poems, essays, stories and articles) is marked by tradition (in the sense given by René Guénon), gnosis, Christianity[1] and paganism.[lower-alpha 1] In his view, tradition does not belong to our past, but to our being.[3]
His favourite themes have led him to write for a number of journals, including Question de, La Place royale, Pictura, Vers la Tradition, Style (which he founded with André Murcie), Cée (which he founded with F. J. Ossang), Phréatiques, Connaissance des Religions, L'Originel, Antaïos, Éléments, Nouvelle École, La Presse littéraire, Les Carnets de la Philosophie, Philosophie pratique and Les Dossiers de la Philosophie. He is the author of around 300 articles.
He has contributed to a number of collective works, including the "Dossiers H" published by L'Âge d'Homme, devoted to René Daumal, Dominique de Roux, Pierre Boutang, Ernst Jünger, whose master he considers Novalis to have been,[4] and Joseph de Maistre, of which he is a connoisseur, as well as the book Roger Nimier, Antoine Blondin, Jacques Laurent et l'esprit hussard, edited by Philippe Barthelet and Pierre-Guillaume de Roux, published in 2012.
In 1999, to oppose the war in Serbia, he signed the petition "Europeans want peace", initiated by the Non à la guerre collective.
