Julius Evola, Revolt against the Modern World Americanisation in Europe is widespread and evident. In Italy it is a phenomenon which is rapidly developing in these post-war years and is considered by most people, if not enthusiastically, at least as something natural. Some time ago I wrote that of the two great dangers confronting Europe [...]

European Decadence (Julius Evola)
Present Western “civilization” awaits a substantial upheaval (rivolgimento), without which it is destined, sooner or later, to smash its own head. It has carried out the most complete perversion of the rational order of things. Reign of matter, gold, machines, numbers; in this civilization there is no longer breath or liberty or light. The West [...]
Julius Evola and Russian Traditionalism (Alexandre Douguine)
1) The Discovery of Evola in Russia Julius Evola’s works were discovered in the 1960s by the very esoteric group of anti-communist intellectual thinkers known as “the dissidents of the right.” They were a small circle of people who had conscientiously refused to participate in the “cultural life” of the USSR and who had instead [...]
Fascism as Anti-Europe (Julius Evola)
Can fascism be the source of an anti-European restoration? Is fascism powerful enough today to take on such a task? Fascism arose from below, from confused needs and brutal forces unleashed by the European war. Fascism has thrived on compromises, on rhetoric, on the petty ambitions of petty people. The state organization that it has [...]
United Europe: The Spiritual Prerequisite (Julius Evola)
The first political step in forging a united Europe would be the withdrawal of all European governments from the United Nations, a hypocritical organisation if there ever was. The ground for a European initiative must be carefully prepared; but the problems of concrete political tactics fall outside the scope of this essay. Here we can [...]
Hitler and the Secret Societies (Julius Evola)
(from Il Conciliatore, no. 10, 1971; translated from the German edition in Deutsche Stimme, no. 8, 1998) It is remarkable that some authors in France have researched the relationship of German National Socialism to secret societies and initiatic organizations. The motivation for this was the supposed occult background of the Hitler movement. This thesis was [...]
Against the Neo-Pagans (Julius Evola)
Extract from “Grundrisse” (1942) by Julius Evola The Misunderstandings of the New “Paganism” It is perhaps appropriate to point out the misunderstandings that are current at the moment in some radical circles, who believe that a solution lies in the direction of a new paganism. This misunderstanding is already visible in the use of terms [...]
American “Civilisation” (Julius Evola)
The recently deceased John Dewey was applauded by the American press as the most representative figure of American civilisation. This is quite right. His theories are entirely representative of the vision of man and life which is the premise of Americanism and its ‘democracy’. The essence of such theories is this: that everyone can become [...]
On the Secret of Degeneration (Julius Evola)
Anyone who has come to reject the rationalist myth of “progress” and the interpretation of history as an unbroken positive development of mankind will find himself gradually drawn towards the world-view that was common to all the great traditional cultures, and which had at its centre the memory of a process of degeneration, slow obscuration, [...]
Fascism against Christianity (Julius Evola)
FASCISM AGAINST CHRISTIANITY: THE GREAT LIBERATION Julius Evola (Translation from Imperialismo pagano, Atanor, Todi-Roma 1928) Let us conclude. Today we must absolutely put a stop to Christianity. Everything in it is incompatible with and contradictory to the ideals, the morals, the vision of the world and of man that would enable a race to bring [...]
