History

The bi-monthly magazine Antaios was initiated by the publisher Шаблон:Ill, who wanted to involve the scholars of the Eranos circle, which held regular conferences mainly focused on religious studies, in a conservative cultural magazine. Role models for Antaios were the Eranos yearbooks, the cultural magazine Merkur and Mircea Eliade's journal Шаблон:Ill. Eliade, an Eranos regular, was recruited by Klett as an editor. Ernst Jünger had been impressed by Zalmoxis and accepted to edit the magazine with Eliade; other people who had been approached but rejected the position included Aldous Huxley, Joseph Campbell and Karl Jaspers. Klett's nephew Philipp Wolff-Windegg was appointed as editor-in-chief.Шаблон:Sfn Although Eliade's and Jünger's names were closely associated with the magazine, their involvement as editors was very limited, and it was Wolff-Windegg who handled the selection of writers and articles.Шаблон:Sfn

The first six issues were published with the subtitle Zeitschrift für eine freie Welt (Шаблон:Literal translation).Шаблон:Sfn In the early existence of the magazine, the circulation was around 3000; toward the end it was around 1200.Шаблон:Sfn Due to the failure to increase the readership and Klett's acquisition of Merkur in 1968, Antaios was discontinued in 1971.Шаблон:Sfn

Contents

Each issue is around 100 pages long and mainly consists of essays and articles on cultural history. There is no narrative prose but literary sketches sometimes appear. Characteristic is the priority of perennial philosophy and archetypes over historical-sociological perspectives. Many of the texts discuss the West's place in the world, which typically is portrayed as increasingly weak.Шаблон:Sfn Some of the content can be classified as esotericism.Шаблон:Sfn

Through Eliade, the outlook of the archaic man is a recurring theme, and Jünger and his brother Friedrich Georg Jünger made a focus point of technology and its issues.Шаблон:Sfn It was a stated goal to serve "tradition", which was said to exist in "myth, symbol and poetry [Dichtung]", although the term itself was not further specified; it is unclear if it was related to the initiatory "Tradition" of Julius Evola,Шаблон:Sfn who was published in the magazine twice.Шаблон:Sfn Contributors from the Eranos circle included Шаблон:Ill, Шаблон:Ill, Laurens van der Post and Kathleen Raine.Шаблон:Sfn Other contributors included Will Erich Peuckert, Marcel Jouhandeau and Ernesto de Martino.Шаблон:Sfn According to the scholar Ulrich van Loyen, the absence of Jewish contributors can be attributed to Klett.Шаблон:Sfn
