Recognitions: Studies on Men and Problems from the Perspective of the Right

This volume contains a rich collection of Julius Evola’s late essays, distilling the work of a lifetime. Despite the great diversity of subjects, these essays all depart from Evola’s basic and intransigent principles.

Key Topics and Personalities:

• Specific Personalities: Donoso Cortés, Vilfredo Pareto, Joseph de Maistre, Metternich, Michelstaedter, and Henry Miller.
• Investigations into Problems:
  • The “revolution from the heights”
  • The “twilight of the East”
  • The myth of the West
  • Political versus biological youth
  • The emergence of the Fifth Estate

Doctrinal Analyses:

• Zen Buddhism
• The so-called Left-Hand Path
• The “myth of the future regality”
• Neo-realism
• The “fetish for magic”

Historical and Mystical Explorations:

• The evocation of Emperor Julian
• The significance of the Sibylline Books in Ancient Rome
• The mysteries of Mithras

The material presented is wide-ranging and of perennial interest. Evola’s treatment consistently brings essential normative values to the fore — values that might serve for the interior and spiritual formation of a new generation.
