In lectures and articles for CiRCE, I have often mentioned Nicolas Gomez Davila, and lately been asked where to start with his philosophy.
Sadly, very little of Davila’s work has been translated into English. I first encountered Davila on the recommendation of a friend, yet he recommended I begin with Davila’s Goodreads quote page, which is more or less where I have remained for the last year. There is, by my count, just one book in English credited to his name on Amazon, and that book currently sells (used) for nearly a hundred dollars.
It seems the Germans have a huge affection for him. Many of his works are available in German. However, English speaking people seem to have been very slow to catch on to his merits.
