Revolt Against the Modern World
"Revolt Against the Modern World" is a philosophical work by Julius Evola, published in 1934. The book critiques modernity and its values, arguing that contemporary society has lost its spiritual and traditional foundations. Evola advocates for a return to a more hierarchical and transcendent worldview, emphasizing the importance of tradition and spiritual authority.
Evola's ideas draw from various sources, including Eastern philosophy, Western esotericism, and traditionalism. He contrasts the modern world, characterized by materialism and individualism, with a vision of a more integrated and meaningful existence rooted in ancient wisdom and cultural heritage.
