Absolute Individual

Hello,

The main philosophical work of Julius Evola was originally a text of
800-page or so called 'Teoria e fenomenologia dell'Individuo
Assoluto'. Completed around 1924, it was published by Bocca from
Milan in two tomes, respectively in 1927 and in 1930, when Evola had
already distanced himself from philosophical speculations. This work
was so complex and nonconformist that Evola had much trouble in
finding a publisher willing to bring it out.

In 1948-49, during a period of forced immobility at the military
hospital of Bologne, Evola revised 'Teoria', which, however, was only
published in December 1973, by Mediterranee
edizioni. 'Fenomenologia', as to it, was never revised.

In his autobiography, in which he went back over these early works of
his, Evola stated that, to be able to write them, he "set to study
systematically, in the original, the classics of idealist thought,
from Kant to Hegel and to the late Schelling (...) Nietzsche and
Michaelstaedter contributed in an essential manner to the fundamental
orientation which was to give form to my speculitive constructions;
besides, the knowledge of French 'personalism' had a certain part,
with Lachelier, Secrétan, Boutroux, Lagneau, Renouvier, Hamelin, and
Blondel, in relation to the concept of true freedom".

This is the kind of information which may be helpful to anyone about
to begin to translate, or even to read, 'Teoria.

Are you really planning on translating the entirety of "Fenomenologia"? I was under the impression that it is quite a massive tome. If you, do, however, and...
