Dugin requires no introduction to readers of this blog; de Carvalho does require some introduction. He is a Brazilian journalist, columnist and philosopher now living in the United States, where since 2009 he has been heading an Inter-American Institute for Philosophy, Government, and Social Thought. According to this institute's website, "the keynote of his work is the defense of man's innermost consciousness against the tyranny of collective authority," and he believes that "the most solid shelter for individual consciousness against alienation and reification can be found in widely varying degrees in the ancient spiritual traditions."
And Dugin, of course, represents another form of Traditionalism, similar and yet different--as the two photographs above, chosen by de Carvalho, indicate. And as the development of the on-line debate, entitled "The United States and the New World Order" and focusing on Eurasian-Atlantic relations, has also indicated.
Worth looking at.

I think you would be interested in another name from Romania, Anca Manolescu, who published few books utilsing many of father Scrima's suggestions
Really interesting.
IMHO Dugin won the debate.
Corvallo is hardly a Traditionalist, even if he genuinely considers himself as being one.
Congratulations Carvalho. In my opinion he won.
"... as the two photographs above, chosen by de Carvalho, indicate."
In fact, the pictures were chosen as a jest - to highligh the obvious contrast between a simple philosopher, living in the American countryside, and an powerful idealogue, advocating the political reorganization of an entire continent.
