What philosophy or (ies) did Revilo Oliver ascribe to?
Posted: Mon Aug 11, 2014 10:30 pm
I've heard him criticize Christianity, and Stoicism. Does anybody know which philosophy he most closely related to?

Kevin is probably best qualified to answer this question in a brief, concise way; without going into a detailed explanation. I'm not sure what he thought of Dr. Pierce's religion Cosmotheism, but I can only assume he believed in an Evolutionary philosophy.DanielOlj79 wrote:I've heard him criticize Christianity, and Stoicism.

Michael, perhaps Kevin could do so, in a brief and concise way. But, actually reading "what the man actually wrote"Michael Olanich wrote:Kevin is probably best qualified to answer this question in a brief, concise way; without going into a detailed explanation.

I agree, but some may not have much time to research and go through a lot of his work. Dr. Oliver was a very erudite man. Dan's question sounds like a personable one, which Mr. Strom can probably give us a personable answer because of his real life interactions and experience with Dr. Oliver. Of course, when I said brief and concise way, I didn't mean an answer consisting of a sentence or two. That just wouldn't cut it given Dr. Oliver's high intelligence and education.Cosmotheist wrote:Michael, perhaps Kevin could do so, in a brief and concise way.

about these subjects, or "a detailed explanation", will provide one with "much more insight and clarity" into "what
philosophy" he was "most closely related to", and of which was Daniel's actual question.

Also, no offense to you Cosmotheist, but the links you provided does indeed give what Dr. Oliver's opinion on Christianity was, and also his heavy-handed research into the different forms of religion, but doesn't really give an answer to what he himself actually believed in (although, I have a pretty good idea). Again, unless you have the time to dig through his work, I believe it's a valid question to those who are unsure or even to newcomers who are discovering Dr. Oliver for the first time. You said it yourself, those links might help answer Dan's question. Perhaps there isn't a direct answer, but it still doesn't hurt to ask.
This has been my understanding, and the ultimate conclusion I've come to as well regarding Revilo Oliver. This thread has actually made me curious as to what Dr. Oliver thought about Cosmotheism. I know he was the biggest influence on Dr. Pierce to write The Turner Diaries, when he suggested that he(Pierce) reach the White masses through the medium of fictional novels.Cosmotheist wrote:It is pretty clear from his many and various writings that he was an atheist, if not just a very critical agnostic.

Yes, i agree with you: Click here: http://whitebiocentrism.com/viewtopic.p ... 1170#p2741
to see my post regarding this.
LOL! I know, I was using the "test" area and to respond to you here, but, you beat me to it.
I don't really know what he thought of Dr. Pierce's Cosmotheism, or even if he was aware of it,
but, I stand by what I wrote regarding it above.
