“Whites are responsible for about 97% of everything great in history —the most
inconvenient fact of human history, which contradicts the ideology of diversity.
Whites contributed about: 97% of ideas in Science,  98% of Greatest Explorers,
96% of Greatest Philosopher,  97% of Greatest Architects, 96% of Greatest Painters
95% of Greatest Literary Writers or Novelists, 96% of Technological Innovations”

– Fmr. Prof. Dr. Ricardo Duchesne, Ph.D., X, October 14th 2025.

“The glory of the West lies not in its monuments or machines,
but in its men who dared to strive, who held struggle as sacred,
and who treated history as a proving ground.
Our greatness was never granted.
It was taken by those who refused to kneel.
Remember who you are!”

– Dr. Chad Crowley, X, January 3rd 2026

Vol. I-IV (Ostara Publications, 2023-2026 – rewritten, expanded, and updated)
by Arthur Kemp, B.A. (Pol. Sci., Intl. Pol., Pub. Admin)

This book comes in 6 books (4 volumes):

The complete history of the white race, spanning 350 centuries of tumultuous events. This is a story–of vast visions, empires, achievements, triumphs, reckless blunders, crushing defeats, and stupendous struggles.

Most importantly, revealed in this work is the one true cause of the rise and fall of the world’s greatest empires – that all civilizations rise and fall according to their racial homogeneity and nothing else–a nation can survive wars, defeats, natural catastrophes, but not racial dissolution.

The Prometheus Edition of March of the Titans has been completely rewritten, expanded, and updated. It is printed in full colour throughout.

Also through Arthur Kemp’s publishing house, Ostara Publications you can learn What Race Were the Ancient Egyptians, about Whites in Ancient Egypt, about Whites in the Middle East, about Whites in the Americas, about Whites in Africa, European History, European Culture, European Religions, and Ancient and Classical European Civilizations, amongst many other topics as it relates to the White European Race.

The Uniqueness of Western Civilization
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2011)
by Fmr. Prof. Dr. Ricardo Duchesne, Ph.D.

This extensively researched book argues that the development of a libertarian culture was an indispensable component of the rise of the West. The roots of the West’s superior intellectual and artistic creativity should be traced back to the aristocratic warlike culture of Indo-European speakers.

Among the many fascinating topics discussed are: the ascendancy of multicultural historians and the degradation of European history; China’s ecological endowments and imperial windfalls; military revolutions in Europe 1300-1800; the science and chivalry of Henry the Navigator; Judaism and its contribution to Western rationalism; the cultural richness of Max Weber versus the intellectual poverty of Pomeranz, Wong, Goldstone, Goody, and A.G. Frank; change without progress in the East; Hegel’s Phenomenology of the [Western] Spirit; Nietzsche and the education of the Homeric Greeks; Kojeve’s master-slave dialectic and the Western state of nature; Christian virtues and German aristocratic expansionism.

Faustian Man In A Multi-Cultural Age
(Arkros Media, 2017)
by Fmr. Prof. Dr. Ricardo Duchesne, Ph.D.

At this pivotal moment in recent Western history, Richard Duchesne tackles what may be the most crucial question for people of European descent: ‘What makes us unique?’

Casting aside the dominant cultural Marxist narratives and dismissing the popular media attacks on concepts of ‘whiteness’, Duchesne draws on a range of historical examples, sources and philosophies to examine the origins of European man, his achievements, and the nature of the Faustian spirit that has driven his innovation and creativity.

In an age of multiculturalism and globalism one might ask the question ‘Whither Western Man?’ Faustian Man in a Multicultural Age digs deeply in our origins and development to try and point the reader towards the answer. (Purchase)

Greatness and Ruin: Self-Reflection and Universalism within European Civilization
(Antelope Hill Publishing, 2025)
by Fmr. Prof. Dr. Ricardo Duchesne, Ph.D.

Of all the noteworthy advances and accomplishments in every area of human endeavor, the overwhelming majority have come from one part of the world: Europe and its New World offshoots, collectively referred to as the West. This troublesome fact may be downplayed or deconstructed by the politically correct establishment, but it cannot be credibly denied. The question, then, is why.

In Greatness and Ruin, maverick scholar Ricardo Duchesne sets out to answer this question, dispelling mainstream academia’s counter-arguments along the way. Demonstrating an extraordinary breadth of scholarship, addressing subjects from music to mathematics, philosophy to furniture design, Duchesne establishes that while other peoples had their share of breakthrough advances at occasions in their histories, the West was the only civilization to produce continuous advancements building upon each other throughout its entire history. He constructs a convincing case that the particular western cultural trait of individualism led to the development of a unique sense of selfhood, producing a culture wherein excellence and ethics are valued more than kinship ties, allowing for a blossoming of creativity and experimentation unparalleled in any other society. This progress has made the West wealthy, industrious, and culturally dominant on a global scale, but also atomized, culturally incoherent, nihilistic, hostile towards its own history, and willing to disrupt its ethnic and racial demographics for short-term economic gain. In short, it has led to our greatness and our ruin. Duchesne argues, however, that the West can retreat from this precipice, tempering the self-destructive, liberal tendency of individualism through historical self-consciousness and a worldview incorporating community and cohesion, while allowing individual creativity to flourish again toward more pro-social ends.

Antelope Hill Publishing is proud to present Ricardo Duchesne’s magnum opus, Greatness and Ruin: Self-Reflection and Universalism within European Civilization, an essential read for anyone fascinated by the historical triumphs of European civilization, the reasons for its degeneration, and what it will take to raise it again.

“… There would be a respect for the past glories of our civilization… Thinking is the important thing. Being white isn’t enough. Being English isn’t enough. Being British isn’t enough. Know what you are! … to read about your own culture is a revolutionary act. People are taught to rebel at school and hate our high culture, hate our folk culture – it’s all boring… Knowledge is power. Listen to high music, go into the National Gallery… Look at what we’ve produced as a group… I urge all white people in this era to look into the mirror and to ask themselves, “What do you know about what you are?” And if you don’t know enough, put your hand on that mirror, and move towards greater knowledge of what you can become. We’re all going to die. Make use of that time which remains. Greatness is in the mind and in the fist. The glory of our tribe is not behind us. We can be great again. But the first thing that we have to do is to say, “I walk towards the tunnel, and I’m on my own, and I’m not afraid. And I have no regrets.”

“Most amazing fact about the comparative study of races is not IQ —- It is that Whites have produced the most fascinating, original literary characters with deep interior monologues, in stark contrast to the scripted, subservience, and lack of individuality of nonwhite characters. 441 BC: Antigone in Sophocles’ Antigone: First proto-inner voice against the polis; chooses death over conformity: “My conscience is higher than your law.” However, Antigone does not yet have a private conscience invented by herself; she dies for the unwritten, eternal laws of blood-family. 397-400 AD: Augustine’s Confessions, where he treats himself as a literary character: First-person autobiography; relentless monologue, self-examination. 1200-1215: Tristan & Isolde in Gottfried von Strassburg’s version: First account of love, courtly love, as a private creation, where the lovers invent an inner moral universe against feudal conventions. 1601: Shakespeare’s Hamlet: seven soliloquies of paralyzing self-analysis: “The time is out of joint — O cursed spite / That ever I was born to set it right!” 1719: Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe: The first sustained first-person monologue in English. The journal section is pure solitary self-examination: fear of damnation, inventory of sins, conversion experience, self-made man on the island. 1749: Clarissa in Samuel Richardson’s Clarissa: 1,500 pages almost entirely in letters; the longest sustained interior monologue before Proust. 1774: Werther in The Sorrows of Young Werther by Goethe: First modern subjective feeling, suicide and the sovereignty of emotion. One of the most intense monologue-novel in literature through a collection of letters from Werther to his friend Wilhelm. The reader is locked inside Werther’s head. “I turn everything back on myself, and find only a world within me.” 1830: Julien Sorel in The Red and the Black by Stendhal: Hypocrisy as self-creation; shoots his lover to preserve the purity of his inner narrative. 1857: Emma Bovary in Madame Bovary by Flaubert: We know through the third person Emma’s inner life more intimately than almost any character before her. The narrator slips in and out of Emma’s mind, her daydreams, disgusts, and desires, without quotation marks. 1866: Raskolnikov in Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky: 600 pages of a novel inside one murderer’s mind. Streets, rooms, faces, conversations are filtered through his fever, his theories, his guilt. Raskolnikov lives unendurable solitude of being only one who knows his moral crime. 1900: Lord Jim by Joseph Conrad: His entire life is governed by a single moment of cowardice that he endlessly re-interrogates. 1913-1927: Marcel In Search of Lost Time by Proust: 3,000 pages of the most exhaustive self-examination ever found in literature. Everything in Parisian society is filtered through the narrator Marcel, his memory, vanity, snobbery, cowardice, and cruelty. 1934: The Unnamable by Samuel Beckett: The self reduced to pure voice: “I can’t go on, I’ll go on.””

“They have been deceiving you. The European Middle Ages alone — the “Dark Ages” — produced a higher number of philosophers and scientists than China and India combined.

I. Philosophers: Boethius, 480–524, bridged ancient and medieval thought; his Consolation of Philosophy is still a classic in its exploration of fate, free will, and happiness. John Scotus Erigena, 815–877, combined Neoplatonism with Christian theology; emphasized reason’s role in faith. St. Anselm, 1033–1109, developed the ontological argument for God’s existence; use scholastic/dialectical reasoning to reconcile faith and reason. Peter Abelard, 1079–1142, pioneered conceptualism in the problem of universals; applied logic to theology, famous for his treatise Sic et Non. Peter Lombard, 1100–1160, wrote The Sentences, a systematic theology textbook. Robert Grosseteste, 1175–1253, integrated Aristotelian science with Augustinian illumination; pioneered empirical methods in optics and mathematics. Albert the Great, 1200–1280, synthesised Aristotle and Christianity; classified the sciences and emphasized observation. Roger Bacon, 1214–1292, advocated experimental science and mathematics; criticized reliance on authority. St. Bonaventure, 1221–1274, emphasized illumination and love as paths to knowledge. St. Thomas Aquinas, 1225–1274, harmonized Aristotle with Christian doctrine; innovated the “five ways” proofs for God and natural law ethics in his highly influential book, Summa Theologica. Matthew of Aquasparta, 1237–1302, emphasized direct intuition of individuals, bridged Augustinian and Aristotelian epistemologies. John Duns Scotus, 1266–1308, introduced “haecceity” (thisness) for individuation; defended univocity of being and voluntarism. William of Ockham, 1287–1347, formulated Ockham’s razor for parsimony; advanced nominalism, separating faith from reason. II. Scientists: Gerard of Brussels, early 13th, wrote first text quantifying motion geometrically; used the concept of “uniform difform motion” (constant acceleration). Jordanus de Nemore, 1220–1240, gave correct statics for inclined planes and the concept of “positional gravity”. William Heytesbury, 1335, formalized the mean speed theorem and distinguished kinematics from dynamics. Richard Swineshead, 1340–1355, wrote “extremely detailed” logical analysis of motion, acceleration, and infinite series. Jean Buridan, 1300–1361, provided most developed medieval impetus theory: impetus is proportional to quantity of matter × velocity; it is conserved unless corrupted by resistance or gravity; explained acceleration in free fall as increasing impetus. Albert of Saxony, 1316–1390, popularized Buridan’s impetus theory; applied it to celestial motion (impetus could explain planetary motion without intelligences). Nicole Oresme, 1320–1382, provided graphical representation of velocity-time functions; proved the Mean Speed Theorem geometrically; argued that Earth’s daily rotation is possible; extended impetus to possible perpetual motion in a vacuum.”

The most precious possession you have in the world is your own people. And for this people, and for the sake of this people, we will struggle and fight, and never slacken, never tire, never lose courage, and never lose faith.”

– Adolf Hitler, 5th Reich Party Rally of the NSDAP, Nuremberg, September 1st – 3rd 1933. [You can hear this speech in the Leni Riefenstahl film, Sieg des Glaubens (Victory of Faith) at 30:45. Original German: “Der kostbarste Besitz auf dieser Welt, aber – ist das eigene Volk. Und für dieses Volk – und um dieses Volk, wollen wir Ringen und wollen wir kämpfen. Und Niemals erlahmen; und Niemals ermüden; und Niemals verzagen; und Niemals verzweifeln.” – Adolf Hitler, 5. Reichsparteitag der NSDAP vom 1. bis zum 3. September 1933 in Nürnberg.]
