    We must integrate the authors pedagogy before we can debate this

    The tradition evola wants us to fall back into are the ancestors of what we know asthe arayn race Evola explains two paragraphs after their second card

    (Evola 34, Julius, Italian writer and esotericist, Regality, Revolt Against the Modern World, ch 2)

    The Indo-Aryan civilization exempli es one of die most thorough applications of theforegoing principles! In this civilization" the brahmana caste was not at the top ofthe social hierarchy by virtue of its material strength or its wealth" or even of itspara-ecclesiastical organization# only the sacri cial rite" which was its privilege" de-termined its higher status vis-a-vis other castes! $y permeating those whoperformed them with some kind of dreadful and bene cial psychic power" the riteand the sacri- ce allowed the brahmana to partake of the same nature as theevoked powers# not only would this %uality abide in that person forever" making himdirectly superior to and revered and feared by others" but it would also be

    transmitted to his descendants! &aving entered into the bloodstream as some sortof transcendent legacy" this %uality would become the characteristic feature of arace that is activated in individuals by the rite of initiation" ' The dignity of a castewas determined both by the di(culty and by the usefulness of the functions itexercised! $ecause of the abovementioned pre- suppositions" in the world of

    Tradition nothing was cherished more than the spiritual in)uences that the rite couldactivate through its necessitating action# nothing appeared as di(cult as enteringinto a real and active relationship with the invisible forces that were ready toovercome the imprudent person who dared to confront them without pos- sessingthe necessary %uali cations and knowledge! *or this reason the brahmana caste"despite the fact that it was scattered throughout India" could evince the respect of

    the masses and en+oy a prestige that no tyrant ever en+oyed" no matter how wellaimed!

    Then when they talk about modern imperialism- Evola is talking about humanity,snature need to produce new ways of thinking about the world and interacting withthe world with science and technology Evola argues these forms of imperialism arebad because they obscure humanity,s understanding of tradition and thesupremacy of the traditional way of living by the aryan,s-This is starts immideintlyafter they cut their rd piece of evidence

    In general" modern man has looked at the shift from a .civilization of being. to a.civilization of becoming. as a real step forward! '' The valorization of the purelytemporal aspect of reality in the name of history /hence historicism0 has been oneof the conse%uences of this shift! 1nce contact with the origins was lost theinde nite" senseless" and accelerated motion of what has rightly been called an

    .escape for- ward. in the name of evolution and progress has become the mainfeature of modern civilization! 2uite frankly" t he germs of this superstitiousmythology applied to time may be found in 3udeo-4hristian eschatology and5essianism as well as in early 4atholic apologetics" which valorized the .novelty. ofthe 4hristian revelation so much so that in Ambrose6s polemics against the 7oman

    tradition we can nd an early formulation of the theory of progress! The.rediscovery of man. promoted by the 7enaissance represented a fertile habitat forthe growth of those germs" up to the period of the Enlightenment and scientism!Ever since then the impressive develop- ment of the sciences of nature andtechnology" as well as of inventions" has acted like opium" distracting man6s mindand preventing him from perceiving the underly- ing and essential meaning of theentire movement8 the abandonment of being and dissolution of any centrality inman" and his identi cation with the current of becom- ing" which has becomestronger than him ! And when the fantastic ideas of die coars- est kind ofprogressivism are at risk of being unmasked" the new religions of life and the .elanvital". as well as .*austian. activity and myth" make their appearance and becomenew intellectual .drugs. that ensure that the movement may not be interrupted butspurred on" so that it may ac%uire a meaning in itself" both for man and forexistence in general!

    political theory was a degenerate product of the modern world and did not re)ect the Traditional order! @uenonendorsed the book and conse%uently must have accepted 4oomaraswamy,s re+ection of Evola! The fact that@uenon remained in contact with Evola after the war only re)ects @uenon,s continued belief that Evola wasredeemable and worth having as a possible Italian representative of the Traditionalist school! If @uenon had beenaware of Evola,s wartime activities it is unlikely the *renchman would have continued his friendship with the $aron!After @uenon,s premature death in 'JL' Evola became the de facto representative of the Italian Traditionalist

    school! 4oomaraswamy had died in 'J N so there was no one to dispute Evola,s claim! With the advent of the 4oldWar Evola,s memory %uickly faded from public consciousness especially after he was ac%uitted of inspiring neo-fascist parties in his famous trial held in 7ome during 'JL'!
