The modern civilization of the West requires a cardinal revolution, without which it is sooner or later doomed to perish. This civilization has perverted any conceivably reasonable order of things. It has become a reign of quantity, matter, money, and machines, in which there is no air to breathe, no freedom, no light. The West has forgotten the meaning of commands and obedience. It has forgotten the meaning of action and contemplation, of hierarchy, spiritual authority, and divine presence. No, This is not from a text by René Guénon, the number one critic of modern civilization. Guénon always expressed himself in a calmer, more abstract, more academic manner.

Having begun by translating Guénon’s writings into Italian, Evola gradually rose to a height almost equal to that of Guénon’s in the Traditionalist milieu.

Julius Evola has often been called the “Last Kshatriya,” the Kshatriya being the Indian caste of warriors and kings. He is a strange character. At the height of the cynical 20th century, he lived, thought, and acted as though he were living on the precipice of the blessed epoch of the resplendent, magical, cruel, paradoxical, spiritual, and militant Middle Ages…
