We must not allow the third dimension of history to vanish in the fog of abstract and philosophical views, but we must consider it inhabited and occupied by quite precise “intelligences” Continue reading

The Future Order of Nations (III)
The organization of a block of the type like the European, Aryan, and Roman block is the only concrete task of our future and the only object of a serious consideration in regards to a new law and a new ordering of the people. ~ Julius Evola In this final … Continue reading
Letter to Palamidessi
Rome, January 20, 1972 Dear Dr. Palamidessi, I got your letter, for which I thank you. I already told you that a treatise on initiatic astrology would be an important work and would fill a gap; and it would also be interesting to treat, in accordance with its aim, a … Continue reading
The Future Order of Nations (II)
As Evola continues his analysis of the German legal scholar Hans Keller, we see recognizable themes. In particular, Keller comes surprisingly close to the New Right idea of Ethnopluralism. In Klemmer’s scheme, each people is free to define themselves, to realize themselves, and live independently of each in their own … Continue reading

First of all, in regard to origins: It is true … Continue reading
The Spirit of Roman Civilization (III)
Political power, spiritual authority, divine law, sin, divination, totalitarianism and freedom in Ancient Rome. In the order of the structural element, there is a specific element in the “civilization” of Rome, i.e., a hierarchy, in which the preeminence is reserved to political values: everything is assumed and organized in the … Continue reading
The Spirit of Roman Civilization (II)

And in this special point, we see the contrast between … Continue reading
