Julius Evola

Julius Evola was an Italian philosopher, esotericist, and writer, active primarily in the 20th century. He is known for his critiques of modernity and his advocacy for a traditional, spiritual worldview, often rooted in ancient philosophies and religions. Evola rejected materialism and democracy, promoting hierarchical social structures and emphasizing the importance of transcendent values.
