Fpbp
/thread

Rule 3 is gonna make any Evola thread pretty desolate.

>>21021474
that would make any thread on /lit/ desolate

>tfw you've had Evola in your shelf for literally a decade now
>tfw not reading him after having read Plato, Aristotle, Hobbes, Kant, Shopenhauer, and Nietzsche
>tfw you've had sex with lots of women
get fucked, OP

>>21021488
Your digits will make you reconsider. The only one "getting fucked"... is you!

>>21021491
Can't believe I got the most hilarious of gets possible for my post.
kek
Still not reading Evola until I've read all the other useless philosophers. Remember: Philosophy is not about the world. Philosophy is about one particular person opening up their entire inner world to you. This is why "refuting" is such a dumb concept.

>>21021498
The philosophers you read give you an acceptable starting point for Ride the Tiger, although his most philosophical work is The Absolute Individual (not translated in english).
If you're truly familiar with Nietzsche you can see how his work is in part, the blossoming of Stirner and Schopy. In the same way, in Ride the Tiger you can see the blossoming of Nietzsche, the critique of Nietzsche by someone who Nietzsfhe would have called an equal, if not a superior.
I say this unironically: in Evola I found the only modern philosopher who's general "worldview" or inner world as you described it was enough to quench my thirst significatively. Enough to make you consider abandoning the pursuit of philosophy and move on to something else

>>21021518
You say that as if I was reading philosophy. It's very low on my list. I'll read Plato and Aristotle soon-ish because I'm reading the Greeks currently (albeit slowly).
I got Evola only because I was quite into neofolk. No idea when I'll even get into the modern philosophy. It might take years. Maybe I'll never read it. I'm not particularly in need of any self help.

>>21021527
Well, may you one day reach that point! The slow road is often the best and most fruitful one.

>>21021527
>>21021532
Pic related: will probably never read

>>21021537
once you get there, don't start with Revolt

>>21021537
>filthy weeb
God dammit you were going so well

>>21021498
>Philosophy is not about the world. Philosophy is about one particular person opening up their entire inner world to you
are you a woman or are you just gay? you don't care about the ultimate nature of reality? wtf?
if philosophy is about worlds why is it called philosophy and not endocosmology? can you refute this?

>>21021600
Not a weeb though.
Why am I even posting in this shitty thread?

>>21021605
You're attracted by the GEC (giant evolian cock)

I think this is a generally good way to frame him. In Nietzschean terms, he is an actual practical and affirmative attempt at a revaluation of truth in uncompromising and also (unlike the pomos and other later philosophers) creative terms. Probably worth comparing/contrasting much of what Evola wrote with Beyond Good and Evil, that would be a fruitful effort if anyone were to bother.

>>21021605
Literally only weebs learn japanese, undeniable

>>21021611
Where do you see the creative parts of Evola? Unironically curious and interested

>>21021602
Not that guy but; metaphysics deals with the ultimate nature of reality, not philosophy. The latter is the love of wisdom, of which the former is a branch thereof.

>>21021627
>not wanting to read Mishima in his original language

>>21021461
>What message did YOU get?
that Evola-san said I could smoke kush so long as the absolute "I" is at the center of getting high

>>21021461
Daily reminder that Evola is a red herring and you should read Mein Kampf instead.

>draw in practical tools to use in our daily life
Okay, what is the Evolist way to do the dishes, organize your desk, make sandwiches, arrange groceries?

>>21021461
Ride of the Tiger is not practical, it's a commentary on the current philosophical trends of his days. People think that's it's a practical manual because the English edition who added a retarded subtitle. This truly shows that people who talk about books don't read it

(I have sex every days with my inside woman)

>>21023663
The is true. The title is not an imperative. Evola is theorizing on a differentiated type of person, who may not even exist, and what would be required of them to ride out the final stages of disintegration. If you connect with vaporwave trad memes on a spiritual level you are not this human type.

>>21021609

Projecting lmao

Yes

>>21021544
No, Revolt is best to start with. I read it and it blew my mind.

>>21024112
Revolt totally changed my perspective in life. I read it, and then Reign of Quantity, after which I felt well-prepared to tackle more “difficult” traditionalist books

>>21024195
Revolt + RoQ is a killer combo.

the fact that anyone takes a clown new age self-help guru like evola seriously around here just shows /lit/ is beyond saving. this place has been overrun by utter plebs.

>>21024238
Filtered by perennial tradition. Many such cases

>>21022118
Race is a spook, unless you mean culture.

>Have read Revolt Against the Modern World, Ride the Tiger, The Doctrine of Awakening, The Mystery of the Grail, and the Bow and the Club
>Lift and go to a boxing gym
>Girls wanna have sex with me but not date me
My favorite part of The Bow and the Club is where he talks about how degenerate the Beatles are and how women who wear blue jeans should be put in concentration camps

>>21024364
You mean spiritual race, aka caste
