Ride the Tiger, A Survival Manual for the Aristocrats of the Soul, by Julius Evola, Part 2: In the World Where God is Dead, Chapter 5: Disguises of European Nihilism, The Socioeconomic Myth and the Protest Movement

In Chapter 5 of "Ride the Tiger" by Julius Evola, the author delves into the nature of nihilism and its precursors, examining how this philosophical stance has influenced the modern age. Evola discusses the transformation of society through the rejection of traditional values and the rise of existentialism, Marxism, and other ideologies that challenge established norms. He explores the role of the "lost youth" and their protest movements, which emerge as a response to the perceived emptiness and hypocrisy of contemporary life. The chapter emphasizes the spiritual and moral crisis resulting from this upheaval and the need for a new, transcendent approach to life.
