Evola is my absolute favorite Philospher-Magician

Wildly important to truly understand the context and purpose of Life as a Human in so many deeply valuable perspectives.

Nietzsche saw Humanity as the greatest animal. Here he is correct. And also that our meaning of life should be ever becoming. This is a great addition to our thinking but limited as it is cannot be at one with Creation beyond a Material level. The Metaphysical that both recognized as the driving force behind all life was never actualized by Nietzsche, but Highly explored by Evola more than any other thinker. For example, They both saw structuring of our animal chaoses as key, but in different ways, for Nietzsche it was mainly internal and individualized. But for Evola it was both Personal and Interpersonal, and being able to trace this back to a distinct and fundamental pattern of creation found through all human society Thus, Evola completes his Ontology on this subject while Nietzsche couldn't as Nietzsche did not believe in Law even if it was based on the Metaphysical.

Anyway that was just one example of where Evola completes what Nietzsche couldn't because Nietzsche didn't wanna get spiritual. While Nietzsche was 100% right about slave morality and weakling religions being started by spiteful wretches this cannot apply to all religions. Some beliefs exist as a way of structuring everything so that it may live for a greater and ideal purpose no matter where on the pyramid, some religions just aim to explain the nature of God. To have both is Transcendent Structuring, it organizes from the source-point and not from the bottom so there's nothing missing that needs of becoming. Becoming is not a necessity as Nietzsche claimed; if something is already perfect, it can survive the trials of nature and reality indefinitely, hence the realm of Tradition superseding millennia as the general way to do shit.

Being doesn't have to Become anything if it already mogs everything. Real smart thinking.

Most of these look Futurist imo

[Anonymous No.15955880]

Genuine question (not bait): isn't he just a Guénon copycat? I mean Guénon made East vs West book and Evola too, Guénon made Crisis of the modern world and Evola made Revolt against the modern world? One should read Evola instead of Guénon.
The only pretty based thing he made is translating Decline of the west in Italian.

[Anonymous No.15955892]

>>15955851
Yeah, some of them have that hyper-geometrical look to them. Some of his paintings with faces look more obviously dadaist and many of them have far fewer straight lines and sharp angles than most futurist art. It seems he was borrowing elements from both.

[Anonymous No.15955908]

>>15955880
Evola's East v West is partially a response to Guenon; his Revolt Against the Modern World and Guenon's Crisis maybe have similar ideological underpinning but didn't strike me as similar works. Guenon's book is maybe an introduction to his critiques of modernity, Evola's book is a massive prescriptive treatise.

[Anonymous No.15956250]

>>15955880
Evola enjoyed life. For a brainlet like me his writing is much closer to being "enjoyable" than Guenon.

[Anonymous No.15957939]

>>15955880
From Evola's perspective the difference between himself and Geunon is that Evola's ideas are shaped around action and the idea that warriors and kings should be the source and power behind all things in a civilization.

Guenon's idea is that the priest class should be the power the controls and derives all of civilization.

I think theres something to both camps but I side with Evola because educated warriors who take action are not cowards and know what it is to live and fight while it is likely that priests will become corrupted by a Beourgeoise aspect and not respect life or the common people.
This is why Rome was so successful having many emperors who were soliders/generals

Basically the idea is that experience trumps theory any day but theory is still valuable.

I think Evola would be the kind of father who would encourage you to take up fun and dangerous hobbies that have an element of conquest to them, like surfing, skateboarding, wrestling, horseback riding, fencing, parkour (I wonder what his thoughts would be on this phenomenon), and mountain climbing. He would also encourage you to experience everything the modern world has to offer, even going so far as to drive you to a house party your classmates are throwing, where there is drugs and alcohol, but before stepping out of the car, he gives you sagely advice to not lose yourself to these dionysian forces. On the other hand, he would be very strict and probably send you to a military school just because.

This is one of the things I enjoy about Evola over other caricatures of fascism. Despite rebelling against the modern world, he was keen enough to realize that we are still living within a modern timeline and advancing through it.

As for your comments about doing drugs, he did experiment on substances after all, though I'm not sure if that was exclusively part of his young life and he clearly made several points later on to live with minimal excess.
