This volume, a companion to Evola’s Fascism Viewed from the Right and Notes on the Third Reich, contains many of his occasional essays on the topic of fascism as understood from a traditionalist perspective. These essays were written between 1930 and 1971, thus comprising both his contemporary and post-war assessments of the fascist phenomenon.

Topics Covered:

Evola’s views on Italian Fascism and German Nazism.
Discussions of other movements such as the Spanish Falange and the Japanese Imperial ideal.
Commentary on diverse subjects including:
- Nazi esotericism.
- The idea of a new spiritual Order to lead Europe.
- His rejection of Nazi biological racism.

Additional Highlights:

Interviews conducted by Evola with:
- Corneliu Codreanu, the leader of the Iron Guard.
- Count Coudenhove-Kalergi, the founder of the Pan-European Movement (the forerunner of the European Union).
The full text of ‘Orientations’, the famous essay Evola wrote in 1950 concerning the proper approach of the European Right in the post-war era, later developed further in Men Among the Ruins.

These essays reveal Evola as an unsparing critic of fascism, consistently urging traditionalists to aspire for something higher than the merely political.

About the Author:

Julius Evola (1898–1974) was Italy’s foremost traditionalist philosopher, as well as a metaphysician, social thinker, and activist. He was an authority on the world’s esoteric traditions and one of the greatest critics of modernity. Evola wrote extensively on the ancient civilisations of both East and West and the world of Tradition. He was also a critic of the political and spiritual movements of his own time from a traditional perspective.
