My translation of Faye’s “Pour en finir avec la
civilisation occidentale,” Éléments 34 (1980). This text distinguishes and
advocates Europe (or Hesperia) over-against “the Western system.” The nouvelle droite-period Faye (before 1987),
whom we see at work here, is quite different from the post-hiatus Faye (1998–2019)
known to the Anglophone world. Note the apparently positive assessment of
political Islam (p. 5) and the opposition to the identitarianism with which he
came to be associated (pp. 6–7).
