"(...) in 'La scienza ebraica, la teoria della relatività e
la "catarsi demoniaca"' (Vita Italiana, May 1940), Evola, under the
pen-name 'Arthos', brought to light "the relations which have existed
since the most ancient times between Judaism and the inclination to
an abstract and lifeless mathematical speculation", and noted
that "that relation, in its turn, brings us back to an opposition
between general world-outlooks, and originates in that denial of the
world as cosmos, as organic and living unity, which characterised the
Semite as opposed to the Aryan". More concretely, he added that "it
can be noted that algebra and arithmetics were brought to the West by
the Semites and the Arabs ; the numbers which allow algebraic
operations are precisely those called 'Arabic', and unknown, for
instance, to the Romans, who had their own methods of calculation -
since, obviously, with Roman numbers it is impossible to perform the
most basic arithmetical operations known to everyone today".

Precisely, 'La scienza ebraica, la teoria della relatività e
la "catarsi demoniaca"' goes deeper into that question.
