Product Description
In this work the author advances some reflections on the religiosity of the Indo-Europeans, that is to say, the Indo-European speaking peoples originating from a common Bronze Age nucleus. By comparing the structure of the Indian, Persian, Sacaean, Armenian, Slavic and Baltic languages, and of the Greek, Italian, Celtic and Teutonic dialects, we can reach a conclusion as to a common or primal Indo-European language, approximating to the latter part of the early Stone Age.
By studying the differing indigenous, pre-Christian, faiths of our various peoples, Professor Günther tried to establish what were the core spiritual values of the Indo-European peoples, before Christianity. A fascinating study.
In the same way, an examination of the laws and legal customs of the different peoples of Indo-European language reveals a primal Indo-European feeling for law. Similarly, from a comparison of the religious forms of these peoples we can identify a particular religious attitude emanating from the Indo-European nature - a distinctive behavior of the Indo-European races towards the divine powers.

| About the Author | Hans F.K. Günther (1891-1968) was a German Nordicist who was a race theorist, as well as being an advocate of the restoration of Germanic paganism. He first began writing on these subjects during the Weimar Republic, but after the rise of the National Socialists he joined the Party and became one of the most recognised authorities on German racial doctrine. In spite of this relationship, however, Günther was uninterested in anti-Semitism. Although he was detained by the Allies after the Second World War, he was never charged with any crime as no direct connection between Günther and the alleged crimes of the Nazis could be found. Günther never repudiated his views, and in fact continued to write on the same subjects after the war. |
