See Part One As little as that against which it reacts, such a spiritualism therefore constitutes a principle: it is not a sign of rebirth, but is instead — like that which already Asianized the Greco-Roman world in the Alexandrian period, and to which it so strangely resembles — a … Continue reading

We Antimoderns
In 1930, Julius Evola launched the periodical La Torre which was subsequently shut down by the Fascist government of Italy. This was just after the publication of the Italian edition of Pagan Imperialism, but before Revolt against the modern World. This essay, Noi Antimoderni is from the inaugural issue. While … Continue reading
Sun, Moon, & Stars
I want to remark on something in Tomberg’s Meditations, in comparison between Chapter 18 (The Moon) & Chapter 19 (The Sun). Besides many other side meditations of delight (including a short, extremely well put defense of medieval scholasticism, which he says was a marriage of wisdom and intelligence to produce … Continue reading
Harmonics
In order to win the daily battle, we may resort to any number of tactics which can strengthen the “core” of man by magnetizing the higher centers of his personality, including plain music.

Subterranean History
On various occasions we have insisted on the necessity of a radical revision of methods and criteria with which, in the order of common teaching and of that culture that claims to be serious, history is made. We demonstrated that history of true history does not grasp that the two … Continue reading
Race and Death
Since we now have 50 people in the entire world interested in reading more of Evola, I am releasing another section. It may be of value to compare it to Mircea Eliade’s description of the Legionary movement, from which the following quote is taken. Being a profoundly Christian movement, justifying … Continue reading
Greater and Lesser Battle
Just to give readers something to live for today. The battle differentiates, distinguishes, and creates hierarchy, especially when — to use some traditional expressions — it is not the small battle, but the great battle. It is not the battle of man against man or against the environment, but the … Continue reading
