Im going through complete works of various philosophers from all sides of the political spectrums/religious/ect
I just bought the complete works of julius evola and all of his essays and im about to dive into them on Friday.
What does /his/ think of the radical traditionalist evola?

get a fucking job, NEET. Nothing beats the feeling of a real book
He's underrated as a philosopher and writer. His symbolic interpretation of history and excentric views and biography makes him one of the most interesting personalities of the 20th century.
I've read some excerpts from him, and heard people talk about him. Seems very interesting but I don't think I'm nearly philosophically capable or historically knowledgeable enough to get the most out of him yet. I think my thoughts are too modern to grasp a lot of the things he's saying.

He's ok. Evola is interesting to read as a case study as an aristocrat losing his grip in the modern world and it's hard to find basis in what he's saying in the real world.

make him cast magic missile and it´ll be perfect
While it's hard to disagree with anyone who criticizes materialistic culture and it's potential for nihilism, I get exceedingly suspicious at the attempts by people like him to come up with a viable alternative that doesn't entail the destruction of the good parts of the current society.
>traditionalism
when will this meme die? we can't go back to the ancien regime, and if we could we'd be storming the bastille within 5 minutes upon realising how fucking shit it was.
fuck these larpers, deal with the reality of the present.
Where did you buy that? Google doesn't give me any answer.

If you know where he's coming from it's not that difficult. Magic is real.

>Not understanding what traditionalism is
>Thinks its about maintaining a stagnant technologically backwards retard state
>Not realizing its the preservation of philosophical fire and not the worship of ancient ashes
