Yesterday, we saw that Julius Evola claimed both knowledge and action as the two basic elements. Let’s be clear about what is meant by knowledge. This is not the scholarly knowledge of the professors nor is it related to any discipline like comparative religion. Rather, this knowledge is a gnosis, … Continue reading
Universality and the Heroic Life
The great conquerors always felt almost like sons of fate, carriers of a force that had to be realized and to which, starting from their own person, their own pleasure, their own tranquility, all of which had to be subdued and sacrificed. Continue reading

Today with difficulty, if not exceptionally in some close to dangerous existential crises, the potentiality of Christianity at its beginnings as that “tragic doctrine of salvation” can be re-actualized. The problem is not set and we even say without reticence that if anyone who has known, for some time, nothing … Continue reading
