Remembering Julius Evola:
May 19, 1898–June 11, 1974

Greg Johnson

422 words

Baron Giulio Cesare Andrea Evola was born on this day in 1898 in Rome. Along with René Guénon, Evola is one of the writers who has most influenced the metapolitical outlook and project of Counter-Currents, which is reflected in the fact that Evola is one of the most-tagged writers on this website. In commemoration of his birthday, I wish to draw your attention to the following resources.

Counter-Currents has published the following writings of Evola’s:

  • “American ‘Civilization’”
  • “Sol Invictus: Encounters Between East and West in the Ancient World”
  • “Youth, Beats, and Right-Wing Anarchists,” Part 1 and Part 2
  • “Baron von Ungern-Sternberg”
  • “Nihilism and the Meaning of Life in Nietzsche”
  • “The Overcoming of the Superman”
  • “Evola on the Egyptian and Tibetan Books of the Dead”
  • “Juan Donoso Cortés”
  • “René Guénon: East and West”
  • “Evola on Zen and Everyday Life”
  • “Evola on Aurobindo’s Secret of the Veda”
  • “What is Spanish Falangism?”
  • “The Relationship Between Judaism and Freemasonry”
  • “What Tantrism Means to Modern Western Civilization”
  • “On the Secret of Degeneration”
  • “Aleister Crowley”
  • “Race and War”
  • “East and West: The Gordian Knot: Ernst Jünger’s Der gordische Knoten”

The following articles deal exclusively or principally with Evola or employ him as the main frame of reference:

  • Michael Bell, “Julius Evola’s Concept of Race: A Racism of Three Degrees”
  • Thomas F. Bertonneau, “Against Nihilism: Julius Evola’s ‘Traditionalist’ Critique of Modernity”
  • Amanda Bradley, “Absolute Woman: A Clarification of Evola’s Thoughts on Women”
  • Amanda Bradley, “Nazi Fashion Wars: The Evolian Revolt Against Aphroditism in the Third Reich,” Part 1 and Part 2
  • Derek Hawthorne, Review of Evola’s The Metaphysics of War
  • James J. O’Meara, “The Eldritch Evola” (on Evola and Lovecraft)
  • Michael O’Meara, “Evola’s Anti-Semitism“
  • Matt Parrott, “Freemasonry and the Occult War”
  • Renato del Ponte, “My Memories of Julius Evola”
  • Robert Steuckers, “Evola and Spengler”

For those wishing to read Evola’s books, I would suggest three different starting points. For those who want to jump in at the deep end, begin with Evola’s magnum opus, Revolt Against the Modern World. For those who want to wade in, I recommend starting with one of Evola’s slimmest, most beautiful, and most seductive works, Meditations on the Peaks: Mountain Climbing as Metaphor for the Spiritual Quest. For those who prefer to begin with an overview of Evola’s life and works, I recommend his The Path of Cinnabar: An Intellectual Autobiography.

I recommend the following websites on Evola:

  • Fondazione Julius Evola, http://www.fondazionejuliusevola.it/
  • Evola As He Is: http://thompkins_cariou.tripod.com/

Finally, as a treat, here is a video of the elderly Evola being interviewed in French on Dadaism.
