Julius Evola

    19 de mayo de 1898 – 11 de junio de 1974

    Julius Evola fue un filósofo italiano cuyo pensamiento representa uno de los sistemas antiegalitarios, antiliberales y antidemocráticos más radicales y consistentes del siglo XX. Su obra es una mezcla única de idealismo alemán, doctrinas orientales y tradicionalismo. Evola poseía un profundo conocimiento e interés en el esoterismo y el ocultismo, lo que se refleja en su perspectiva filosófica. Sus ideas continúan influyendo en los movimientos neofascistas contemporáneos.

    • En esta obra nos proponemos estudiar algunos de los aspectos de la época actual, precisamente aquellos que la han convertido esencialmente en una época de disolución y abordar al mismo tiempo el problema del comportamiento y de las formas de existencia que, en una situación así, interesa adoptar a un cierto tipo humano. Esta última restricción no deberá ser nunca perdida de vista. Lo que se va a leer no afecta al conjunto de nuestros contemporáneos, sino únicamente al hombre que, aun estando comprometido con el mundo actual, incluso allí donde la vida moderna ha alcanzado el punto más álgido, problemático y paroxístico, no pertenece interiormente, sin embargo, a este mundo, no contempla la posibilidad de ceder a él, y se siente, por su esencia, de una raza diferente a la de la mayor parte de los hombres. El lugar natural de un hombre así, la tierra en la que no sería un extraño, es el mundo de la Tradición: esta expresión tiene aquí un carácter particular que ya hemos precisado en otras ocasiones próximo a las categorías utilizadas por René Guénon en su análisis crítico del mundo moderno. Según esta acepción particular, una civilización o una sociedad son "tradicionales" cuando están regidas por principios que trascienden lo que no es más que humano e individual, cuando todas sus formas le vienen de lo alto y cuando está enteramente orientada hacia lo alto.

      Italian philosopher Julius Evola pares away centuries of adaptations to reveal Buddhist practice in its original context. Most surprisingly, he argues that the widespread belief in reincarnation is not an original Buddhist tenet. Evola presents actual practices of concentration and visualization, and places them in the larger metaphysical context of the Buddhist model of mind and universe.

      Western civilisation needs a complete overhaul or it will fall apart one day or another. It has realised the most complete perversion of any rational order of things. Reign of matter, of gold, of machine, of number, it no longer possesses breath, or liberty, or light. The West has lost the sense of command and obedience. It has lost the sense of Action and of Contemplation. It has lost the sense of hierarchy, of spiritual power, of man-gods. It no longer knows nature. It is no longer, for Western man, a living body made of symbols, of gods and ritual gestures – a splendid cosmos, in which man moves freely, like a microcosm within the macrocosm: it has on the contrary decayed to an opaque and fatal exteriority, the mystery of which profane sciences seek to ignore by means of their little laws and their little hypotheses. The West no longer knows Wisdom: it no longer knows the majestic silence of those who have mastered themselves, the bright calm of the seers, the superb solar reality of those in whom the idea has become blood, life and power. Wisdom has been supplanted by the rhetoric of ‘philosophy’ and ‘culture’, the reign of teachers, of journalists, of sportsmen; of plans, of programs and of proclamations. It has succumbed to sentimental, religious, humanitarian contamination, and the race of men of fine words who run around madly exalting ‘Becoming’ and ‘experience’, because silence and contemplation frighten them.

      Heathen Imperialism
    • This important survey of alchemical symbols and doctrines sets forth the mysterious worldview and teachings of the practitioners of the "royal art." One of the leading exponents of the Hermetic tradition, Julius Evola demonstrates the singularity of subject matter that lies behind the words of all adepts in all ages, showing how alchemy--often misunderstood as primitive chemistry or a mere template for the Jungian process of "individuation"--is nothing less than a universal secret science of human and natural transformation.First published in 1931 in Italian. This is the first English translation.Draws from a host of sources in the Western esoteric tradition--works on theurgy, magic, and gnosticism from neoplatonic, Arab, and medieval sources.

      The book explores the profound connection between mountain climbing and spiritual awakening, as articulated by Julius Evola, a prominent figure in esoteric thought. He draws parallels between the physical challenges of scaling peaks and the inner journey of self-discovery, emphasizing the heroic nature of such endeavors. Through personal anecdotes and reflections on influential spiritual figures like Milarepa and Alexandra David-Neel, Evola illustrates how ancient cultures revered mountains as sacred spaces for spiritual growth, contrasting this with modern self-interest.

      Meditations on the Peaks
    • A comprehensive work on the metaphysical aspects of sexuality. Julius Evola sheds new light on the mystical and spiritual expression of sexual love. This in-depth study explores the sexual rites of sacred traditions, and shows how religion, mysticism, folklore, and mythology all contain erotic forms in which the deep potentialities of human beings are recognized.
