RE: [evola_as_he_is] Elements of Racial Education -- Chap 9
This may seem overly pedantic, but why does Evola feel it necessary to ascribe a set of given physical attributes to the 'man of race'? Does this mean that a man of less physical stature is smaller in spirit? The use of the word slim seems especially odd, as it would preclude anyone of muscular stature as well as those amongst use whom are more 'padded'.
This wording actually seems to imply the opposite - that there is a connection between the body and spirit.

This is how Evola describes the man of race:
Soul: The soul experiences the world the world as something before which it takes a stand actively, which regards the world as an object of
attack and conquest
Body: A face which reflects by determined and daring features this inner experience. A slim, tall, energetic, straight body.
Spirit: The
calm domination of the spirit over the soul and the body.
Overall: a man of one piece, unified and coherent.
Of course, this rules out self-promoters who change their religious and political affiliations as often as a snake sheds its skin. And naturalists who believe the spirit
arises from the body, rather than the body being the expression of the spirit.
