In this interview with Daniel L. Garner of O.G. Rose we discuss his book Belonging Again (Part 1): An Explanation, which is structured into three parts, but majorly oriented by the second part titled “Confusion’s Masterpiece”. Throughout the interview we focus on the stakes of Belonging Again, the motivation in discovering Philip Rieff, the issue of social constraints, the legitimisation crisis, the trance of believability, the role of philosophy, truth as living to trust as giving, the influence of Durkheim, sociology, and modern rise of suicide, the dialectics of a growing state versus international capital, traditional notions of God, and the middle way between isolationism and collectivism.
