Who We Are


‘The part I understand is excellent, and so too is, I dare say, the part I do not understand; but it needs a Delian diver to get to the bottom of it’. (Diogenes Laertius, 2.22)

The Delian diver Webpage (which has subsequently evolved into a study group) was founded in June 2007. Its main goal is to promote Identitarian, National Revolutionary, Conservative Revolutionary, New Right, Traditionalist, and other related currents in the Czech and Slovak intellectual milieu.

We have translated articles from a variety of sites and journals, such as The Occidental Quarterly, The Occidental Observer, Counter-Currents, Radix Journal, The Journal of Historical Review, Alternative Right, and American Renaissance; introduced (often for the first time in Czech) authors and thinkers such as Dominique Venner, Guillaume Faye, Julius Evola, Alexander Dugin, Oswald Spengler, Robert Steuckers, Ernst Jünger, Alain de Benoist, Francis Parker Yockey, Pierre Krebs, Armin Mohler, Pierre Vial, Franco G. Freda, Claudio Mutti, Gaston-Armand Amaudruz, Greg Johnson, John Morgan, Manuel Ochsenreiter, Alain Soral, Jared Taylor, and Kerry Bolton; and also published information about important organizations such as CasaPound and Génération Identitaire. Over the years, we have broadened our activities into publishing by establishing a small online publishing imprint, Tradice budoucnosti (Tradition of the Future) and print imprint, Metanoia, in 2009.

We used to have two imprints within Tradice budoucnosti: Fascikly (Fascicles) and Orientace (Orientation). All our publications there are free to read and download – and as said before, almost all of them have been published in Czech for the first time. Publications include:
