Men Among the Ruins

The only more or less readable book this author has written.

Revolt is an exvellent book to sart with, but don't start with Ride the Tiger.
>>17814591
Or if you're afraid of being filtered, Men Among the Ruins is one of his least metaphysical books but is very good nonetheless.

The first half of the book is a refutation of several philosophical ideas and assumes familiarity with Nietzsche, Heidegger, Sartre, existentialism. The second half builds off of what Evola wrote in Revolt and his other books. You can start with Ride the Tiger, but most people who do that have a hard time and get filtered (see the other thread). It's a good book though, don't get me wrong.

Shit thread just send me an Amazon wishlist and I’ll get both for u so we don’t have to argue like retards

[Anonymous No.17816276]

Revolt is significantly better unless you're very interested in his critiques of Nietzsche or Heidegger.

>>17814790
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

Holy fuck, thank you for an actually readable version of this image, finally.

Starting with Revolt is fine, it;s the basis of all his other works. I disagree with this chart, Mystery of the Grail is the actual sequel (for lack of a better term) to Revolt so it makes no sense to read it first, and Hermetic Tradition is one of his densest works and is possibly an even worse starting point than Ride the Tiger.

[Anonymous No.17817618]

Revolt touches on literally every point that Evola expounds on in other works, except for the ones about magick and/or mountain climbing. Plus it does a much better job of setting the stage if you're uninitiated to the traditionalist mindset than his more focused works.

>>17817587
Now that I've actually read several of his works I realize how fucking retarded this chart is

>hermetic tradition as one of the first books you should read
lmao

[Anonymous No.17817647]

>>17817639
Yes I had the same realization, it doesn't make any sense except for making sure nobody gets into reading Evola

Im about to finish reading it and even evola says at the end that you should first read men among ruins and after that revolt against the modern world. I definitely wish I had

Introduction to the study of the Hindu doctrines by Guenon is a better introduction, rather than crisis.

I think it's solid. It's important to understand Evolian thought before diving into the Revolt/Ruins/Ride trilogy. The other books are lighter reads that are 100-200 pages.

It's a totally illogical guide.

>lighter reads that are 100-200 pages
That would seem to rely on the idea that one can properly digest the symbolism and working methods of the entire western alchemical tradition in a single read.

[Anonymous No.17819906]

>>17819866
okay but that's just one book. Reading Metaphysics of War, Pagan Imperialism, East & West, and Doctrine of Awakening before the trilogy is definitely the move. I just re-read Revolt last week and it's certainly not an introductory level text. He uses Sanskrit, Greek, and Latin terms in every paragraph which the beginner lacks the context to understand.
>>17819886
if anything Guenon should be read before the Trilogy

[Anonymous No.17819919]

Genuinely curious as to why there’s an increased interest in Evola on /lit/ recently

[Anonymous No.17819928]

>>17819906
No, I referred to the two books that start of that guide, Mystery of the Grail (the "sequel" to Revolt that builds off of the topics introduced there), and Hermetic Tradition (which is a very dense book that's not suitable to start with at all.
> Reading Metaphysics of War, Pagan Imperialism, East & West, and Doctrine of Awakening before the trilogy is definitely the move.
Apart from Doctrine of Awakening I agree, those are good introductions.
>I just re-read Revolt last week and it's certainly not an introductory level text. He uses Sanskrit, Greek, and Latin terms in every paragraph which the beginner lacks the context to understand.
If you're a beginner to Indo-European mythology you probably shouldn't read Evola anyway. I read Revolt as my first Evola book and had no problems (although it benefits from re-reading after having been familiarized with his other works more).

I don't think there is, it's mostly people memeing. There's always been a few people who actually read Evola here though.

[Anonymous No.17819982]

>>17814023
Revolt.
>>17814790
Ride the Tiger is one of the last Evola books you should read, because it was written later in his life and on the assumption of familiarity with his earlier works.
