Julius Evola's writing covered a vast range of subjects, from a
distinctive and categorical ideological outlook and has been
extremely influential on a significant number of extreme right
thinkers, activists and organisations. This book is the first full
length study in English to present his political thought to a wider
audience, beyond that of his followers and sympathisers, and to
bring into the open the study of a neglected strand of contemporary
Western thought, that of traditionalism. Evola deserves more
attention because he is an influential writer. His following comes
from an important if largely ignored political movement: activists
and commentators whose political positions are, like his, avowedly
traditionalist, authoritarian, anti-modern, anti-democratic and
anti-liberal. With honourable exceptions, contemporary academic
study tends to treat these groups as a minority within a minority,
a sub-species of Fascism, from whom they are held to derive their
ideas and their support. This work seeks to bring out more clearly
the complexity of Evola's post-war strategy, so as to explain how
he can be adopted both by the neo-fascist groups committed to
violence, and by groups such as the European New Right whose
approach is more aimed at influence from within liberal
democracies. Furlong also recognises the relevance of Evola's ideas
to anti-globalisation arguments, including a re-examination of his
arguments for detachment and spontaneism (apolitia).
