Re: Evolian Meta-Philosophy



Impossible? I think not...

I am no amateur post-modernist twit, thank you...

I know the intellectual strains of Evolian metaphysics by heart and in
depth--primal aniconic Roman spirituality; Hellenic Orphic-Pythagoreanism and
Hermeticism; Plotinian, theurgic neo-Platonism; certain Indo-Aryan, non-dualist
spiritual forms, and, in my view, Evola's greatest blunder of thinking,
synthesizing in his world-view a barbarized "Left Hand Path" Tantric
antinomianism, akin to terrorist "Kali-Yuga" Thuggery in essence;
Oriental-Chinese Taoism, and Chinese alchemy; Samurai-Zen; feudal classical
imperial Ghibelline political philosophy of Caesaro-Papal "Melchizedek";
maverick Catholic medieval theologians of esoteric bent, e.g. Eckhart, Tauler,
Silesius, etc.; then Germanic and European Transcendentalist neo-Kantian and
post-Kantian Idealism (G. Vico, Fichte, Schlegel, Schelling...Novalis--Novalis
intellectually engaged in "Magical Idealism" decades before Evola--Schopenhauer,
etc., up to Crocean neo-Hegelian Idealism, and so on); Italy-modulated,
Rosicrucian Masonry and Blavatskyian Theosophy, the "root race" concept of
Blavatsky crucial for Evola's own "spiritual racism"--no matter his verbal
denials, if uttered (and Aryosophic bits from von List and von Liebenfels--thus
Haeckelian monist pantheism); varieties of neo-Manichean intellectual
stimulations, and "anti-socialist" neo-Gnosticism; apocalyptic-Judaic mythic
lore of "Enochian Luciferianism," or Titanist/"Faustian" Promethean-type
"Satanism", of stridently anti-fideist, anti-theist tendency and Voluntarist in
mentality--"Satanism" is an ellipsis for lack of better words; Rosicrucian
Guenonianism as central philosophic axis; certain variants of *contemporary*
Christian-Catholic mysticism and esotericism; the Counter-Enlightenment
ideological tradition of de Maistre, D. Cortes, etc.; O. Spengler, and his
anti-Utopian counter-revolutionist pessimism; the neo-Platonist, Kantian sexual
teaching of Otto Weininger; ambivalent, subconscious internalization of
crypto-Stirnerite and Nietzschean thought; Dadaist pseudo-philosophizing;
Bachofen in mythology; Eliadean and neo-Jungian traces in "spiritual"
phenomenology; ETC.!

What I am asking is *how would 'normal' scholars of philosophy and philosophical
history categorize, even conceptualize, Evola, in his core philosophy?*

Evola is unique, but not a cosmic anomaly...

Is Schelling a bad place to start...?

spiritual education , I believe is following the specific Germanic
transcendentalist Idealism somewhere near SCHELLING, and squeezing it strongly
for the last drop of insight...

aggressive counter-assertion of qualitative spiritual imagination. Heidegger is
a tangled bog--regressive elements vying with superior elements...Nietzschean
romanticism interwoven with Eckhartian apophatic negativistic theology of the
Middle Ages...

What is the point of trying to categorize Evola’s philosophy? It can only be misleading without first firmly grasping precisely what that philosophy is. You...
