What does /lit/ think of Julius Evola?

>> No.7991450

I haven't read him yet but I started one of René Guénon's books so I could better understand him once I got to him. Gave up on Guenon's book over half way since it was so awful.

What made it awful? I haven't read it yet but I've read some material from Evola and I've heard nothing but good things of it.

Extremely interesting man whether your beliefs align with his or not. I enjoy his writings on political ideologies, but he has so much to offer outside of that realm is his writings on the esoteric mysteries woven into the histories and cultures of the world. He had so much knowledge in so many fields

Even his short, weird phase as a post modern painter produced interesting results

Great at what he does, which is combine western reactionary thought with eastern mysticism. He isn't as good with either one as his influences are ( like say de Maistre on one side and Guenon on the other) but if you want some mystical right wing anarch's worldview on paper then his writings are a good place to go.

crazy the things he did as long as he didn't "give into it"

"This restriction must be kept in mind. What I am about to say does not concern the ordinary man of our day. On the contrary, I have in mind the man who finds himself involved in today's world, even at its most problematic and paroxysimal points; yet he does not belong inwardly to such a world, nor will he give in to it. He feels himself, in essence, as belonging to a different race from that of the overwhelming majority of his contemporaries."

God awful. His entire philosophy is based on a pseudo-nihilistic approach to history. "Muh history is a circle" conception is wrong: history is a spiral, any historian worth his salt will tell you that.
Sure, history repeats itself in ABSTRACT WAYS, but we can learn from history. Physics also repeats itself in structure. That doesn't mean we don't progress.

"Ride the tiger" is literally a way of saying "find an ideology to win history with" as if that matters. Literally just retarded mysticism, and a slave to his time.

AKA it's the defeatist ideology.
