And what of the death of god in Evola's philosophy?

What is the God whose death has been announced? Nietzsche himself replies: "only the god of morality has been conquered." He also asks: ''Is there sense in conceiving of a god beyond good and evil?" The reply must be affirmative. "Let God slough off his moral skin, and we shall see him reappear beyond good and evil." What has disappeared is therefore not the God of metaphysics, but the god of theism, the personal god who is a projection of moral and social values and a support for human weakness. Now, the conception οί a god in different terms is not only possible but essential within all the great traditions before and beside Christianity, and the principle of non duality is also evident in them.

The conclusion to be drawn from all οf this is that a group of concepts considered in the Christian West as essential and indispensable for any "true" religion- the personal god of theism, the moral law with the sanctions of heaven and hell, the limited conception of a providential order and a "moral and rational" finalism of the world, faith resting on a largely emotional, sentimental, and subintellectual basis-all of these are foreign to a metaphysical vision of existence such as is well attested in the world of Tradition. The God who has been attacked is God conceived as the center of gravity of all this merely religious system. But in fact this may open the horizon of a new essentiality for those who accept as a trial of their strength-one might even say, of their faith in the higher sense-all the dissolving processes brought about by the direction that civilization has taken in recent times. The "moral skin" falls οff a God who has finished υρ as opium of the people, or as the counterpart of petty morality that the bourgeois world substitutes for the greater morality. But the essential core, represented by metaphysical teachings such as those just mentioned, remains inviolate for those who can perceive and live them, remains inaccessible to all those nihilistic processes, and withstands any dissolution.

The madman actually went and read it!
