Which of his works should I start with, I know pic related is literally a guided chart, but I don't feel like following it because not all of these topics interest me. Like magic, hermeticism, eastern stuff, etc. The ones that stand out are: metaphysics of war, pagan imperialism, revolt against the modern world, and then every book after that one. Is it worth it to take the time to read every book in order on this chart? Do you have some personal recommendations?

What about this guy? I was considering reading him and guenon, but I remember picking up guenon and just being really bored by his introduction to the Hindu doctrine. Which is the one that everyone says to start with. Are his other books more interesting. Is evola any better?

Utter crime against humanity. Here’s a hi-res chart.

Has anyone read Evola following this path? I want to get into the big 3, do I really have to read all his eastern stuff?
He appears to dabble in all kinds of things, the magic definitely disinterests me, is his writing worth anything?

The "Aristocrat of the Soul" is the differentiated man, i.e. the Traditional man.

This type of man is defined by one focused on being rather than becoming, is objective, internally detached from his subjective emotions (but still is cognizant of them), and, ultimately, transcendent.

However, this internal state is not all that is required. An appreciation for the metaphysical nature of existence in line with the concrete and physical aspect, especially within the framework of the understanding of the Four-Cycles of Civilizations, in which we currently find ourselves within the 4th and Final Age, The Iron Age, The Dark Age, i.e. the Kali Yuga.

The importance of this text is for the differentiated man to navigate these dark times and live internally in a traditional manner, taking from the philosophical and historical undercurrents what he needs to best serve him, for the world will afford him nothing meaning to orient himself meaningfully to the necessary requirements to live a truly traditional lifestyle.

The issue with many readers of this text is a lack of proper orientation within this framework, combined with the necessity to read much of the supplemental texts that deal with Tradition, Metaphysics, Transcendence, and so on.

To aid in this difficulty, there is a flowchart of a suggested reading order of much of Evola's works. Note that "Ride the Tiger" shows up much further along the necessary reading list to adequately grasp the text.

he's not saying it's wrong, he's saying don't start with it. the evola chart is your best bet for reading order. you're just gonna get filtered if you start with Ride the Tiger or Revolt

If not, can anyone just recommend a good book to start with?

Got you, Friend

I like to repost this, it's a good primer on Evola.

>>16805037
here's the guide
desu you could just read the Orientations essay which is here https://files.catbox.moe/z6uo7g.pdf
and then jump straight into Revolt
the sex thing is a misunderstanding
Evola is not pro-rape or something like the Wikipedia redditor jannies would have you believe
