joseph de maistre

Josef Ketzer, Austrian tutor, alerted me to Joseph de Maistre (1753-1821), a Savoyard philosopher. [I once knew a waiter at the Savoy Tivoli in San Francisco.] Joseph de Maistre is fascinating, unreal.

​Here is a quote that caught my eye: “Émile Faguet described Maistre as ‘a fierce absolutist, a furious theocrat, an intransigent legitimist, apostle of a monstrous trinity composed of pope, king, and hangman, always and everywhere the champion of the hardest, narrowest, and most inflexible dogmatism, a dark figure out of the Middle Ages, part learned doctor, part inquisitor, part executioner.’”

​Unreal. I agree with everything de Maistre said.

I might be his clone.

Portrait by Swiss painter Félix Vallotton (1865-1925) from La Revue blanche, 1895. This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason: The author died in 1925, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 95 years or fewer.
