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...?

> I am not a Heidegger guy--except where Heidegger resonates with medieval theology. Anyway--"neo-Idealism" is just a term--is "post-Kantian Idealism" less unsuitable? Words, semantics... But Evola, in spite of his Eastern and medieval spiritual education , I believe is following the specific Germanic transcendentalist Idealism somewhere near SCHELLING, and squeezing it strongly for the last drop of insight...

The de-souled mechanization of life only needed to be answered by 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...

Evola continues continental neo-Idealism almost to the point of outpacing it...and then his "static gnosis of platonic being" seems to suggest his neo-Plotinian main impetus...
