RE: [evola_as_he_is] Elements of Racial Education -- Chap 16

In chapter 16, “The Type of our Super-Race”, Evola goes into some detail regarding the characteristics of the Roman-Aryan man, which is the ‘super-race’ from which the Italian nation descended and the return to which is the goal of racial education.

 

These are the main physical characteristics: tall, wide shoulder, well-proportioned limbs, slender, sinewy, and dolichocephalic (long skulled).

Mostly dark-haired, often wavy. Thin and long nose. A penetrating and firm look, and gestures that extend a conscious thought, and are not impulsive and uncoordinated.

 

Evola lists the main virtues (not in the moralistic sense of the word) of the ancient Roman type of the Nordic-Aryan race:

1)      Brave virility

2)      Fortitudo and Constantia, or the fortress of the mind

3)      Sapienta, or wise reflection

4)      Humanitas and disciplina, or the ideal of a firm formation of oneself

5)      Gravitas, dignity and inner calm

6)      Fides or fidelity

7)      Love for precise action

8)      Pietas and religion, or feeling of respect for the divine and suprasensible forces

 

The ancient Aryan-Roman man saw the world as a “cosmos”, as a whole of very distinct natures connected amongst themselves not by promiscuity but on the basis of higher law.

The ideal of hierarchy, in which personality is reconciled in a higher unity.

Women placed neither too low nor too high. No preoccupation with sex, affirmation of the paternal right, and the authority of a virile leader of the family and the people.

 

In order for these elements of the race of the spirit and soul, a “particular collective spiritual environment will be necessary”. Not because man is formed by his environment rather than by heredity, but because the influence of the environment will favour the manifestation of already existing characteristics.

 

Therefore, it is necessary to create an environment “saturated with spiritual forces and heroic vocations” to produce the climate needed by the ‘super-race’ in order to reawaken.
