An excerpt from the recording of an interview made in 1973 in Italian with the aged Evola, about one year before his death, at his home in Rome. In other words, you are hearing Evola speaking in Italian for the very first time ever.

“Nothing was left in his voice but equanimity, apathy; fire had burned everything else out of it. It’s men like that you need for fighting.”

Ernst Jünger

"This, to me, is fascism. It is that fascism that can say with right pride: I am not a party, I am Italy."

Giovanni Gentile.

"And what does it matter to me if I'm vanquished in space, if I'm destined to be victorious in time?

I have managed to turn my actions into a perpetually powerful symbol."

– Gabriele D'Annunzio 🇮🇹 | Il Giocoliere e La Rosa

“That party of life which takes in hand the greatest of all tasks, the higher breeding of humanity, together with the remorseless destruction of all degenerate and parasitic elements, will again make possible on earth that superfluity of life out of which the Dionysian condition must again proceed.

I promise a tragic age: the supreme art in the affirmation of life, tragedy, will be reborn when mankind has behind it the consciousness of the harshest but most necessary wars without suffering from it…”

Study of Evola is important to understand the nature of the fundamental moral divide between traditional and modern man. Evola describes certain symbols pointing towards Tradition better than any other.

The Solar symbol represents the transcendent and its reigning supreme over the entire world, illuminating all with its light. It is the fire that burns all impurities: falsehoods, weakness, and impiety. It is also tied to the Uranic symbol, the masculine principle which is generative or properly creative, not only physically but intellectually; at the same time it is a representation of the sheer moral force required for such metaphysical virility.

The Imperial symbol is a direct reflection of the power and glory of God. The Empire establishes an "eternal" order on Earth by conquering all its impious and uncultured barbarian enemies, bringing peace and stability to the land for generations, and lifting up even its lowliest people so they may transcend the merely earthly in their lives.

The Aryan symbol takes its name from that great culture which spread its Solar Empire across the world. The symbol stands for the archetypal features present in Aryan culture which can also be found in other great cultures at their zenith. It stands for aristocratic values of spirit that echo those of the Roman Mos Maiorum: Dignity, Virtue, Authority, among others. Within that is integration of the way of the warrior and of the priest, that is, uniting righteous action and pious contemplation in all things.

“The more I wrote, the more I realized mere words were not enough. So I found another form of expression.”

Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters

The key concept of Jünger’s theory is Gestalt; by this, he means a whole that includes something greater than the sum of its parts.

A person is greater than the sum of atoms, a family is greater than the union of a man and a woman, and a nation is greater than the sum of citizens living in the same territory.

All human history is a struggle of Gestalts. Jünger claims that ‘man, as a Gestalt, belongs to eternity’.
