Audiobook: Revolt Against the Modern World by Julius Evola, Part Two, Introduction

PART TWO: GENESIS AND THE FACE OF THE MODERN WORLD

Introduction

In the introduction to Part Two, Evola outlines a shift in methodology from the first part of his work. He moves from a morphological and typological analysis of the traditional spirit to examining the dynamic unfolding of traditional and antitraditional forces in history. This section will explore the overall spirit of various civilizations and their historical utilization of elements within a given context. Evola aims to identify the dominating factors within historical complexes, assessing the value of elements based on their role and impact in different eras. This approach integrates the ideal with the real, providing a deeper understanding of tradition as it unfolds through history.
