Activity Is it a sign we should read Evola?

[CPT馬冠宇]

Julius Evola's third book, Revolt Against The Modern World, published in 1934. This tome, steeped in traditionalist philosophy, critiques modern civilization and yearns for a return to ancient, aristocratic values.​

I never read Evola per se, but I got a strong impression that it's mystical literature in the context of fascist Italy. The people who mention him skimmed through the books for 2 weeks and then LARP as in-the-know.

Anything mystical and esoterical that's discussed on the Internet is utterly clownish; I had my share of that and I'd rather not.

If you want something Axis-style, Oswald Spengler is a mogger and he's interesting to read. That's the type of man that can take on on the world. Evolians would badly fail to develop weapons and lose to Ethiopia (true story).

I read Decline of the West, it's a good book, I learnt a lot about ancient architecture and Spengler has a certain style like an ebullient preacher, like an old dude really enthusiastic to tell about his cool history fact collection.

Haven't read Evola because I thought he is just like chud favorite author. When it comes to perennial philosophy I just thought Guenon had more credence because he actually engaged in Sufi mysticism.

"Hour of Decision" is his political manifesto, "Man and Technology" muses about tech. Haven't read him in a while frankly.

"Decline of the West" is a 2 volume book, with the second volume often out of print (mysteriously). And I do have all that as physical books, I'm not a fraud.

I own Russian translations.

They were made by some weirdo Armenian that takes Rudolf Steiner too seriously, for a philosophy PhD anyway.
