I' m sorry today you are all in a black mood, anyway, to me, it is better to express frankly and loyally our ideas rather than do it slipping away to another list or environment.
Since as even Troy shows following wisely the Latin proverbs on the idleness (Otium utile est, referre se in otium, otium litteratum, et cetera...) please, do not force me to break my sacred idleness making a hard research on every time and context in which Evola used the word "veggenza". I simply assumed he did not intend that word like Rudolf Steiner or Papus, but from a point of view a bit wide. That's all.
To be more specific, both 'Imperialismo pagano' and 'Heidnischer Imperialismus' have five chapters, of which four bear the same title :
I. 'We, anti-Europeans' II 'Conditions for Empire' III. 'The democratic Mistake' IV. 'The Roots of European Evil'
In 'Heidnischer Imperialismus', the fifth chapter of 'Imperialismo pagano', 'Heathen values and Christian values', is called 'Our European Symbol'. Beyond this, there are major differences between both texts, and most readers agree that the German version is far more accomplished than the Italian one.
Are you sure that 'H.I.' was designed to fit with the German mentality? Rather, wasn't it designed to capture the mind of the best elements in the German hierarchy of that time in the name of a synthesis between the German eagle and the Roman eagle?
If 'veggenza', a word which Evola seldom used, doesn't only have occultist connotations in that excerpt from 'H.I.', what kind of other connotations does it have, then, according to you? Before speculating and worrying about the connotation(s) of a word, shouldn't we start with focusing on its denotation?
