Counter-Currents
618 words
Baron Giulio Cesare Andrea Evola was born on May 19, 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:
- “Zen and the West”
- “The Right to One’s Own Life in East and West”

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
I recommend the following websites on Evola:
- Fondazione Julius Evola, http://www.fondazionejuliusevola.it/

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