Autorenporträt

Julius Evola (1898–1974) is considered one of the foremost authorities on the world’s esoteric traditions. A controversial scholar, philosopher, social thinker, and critic of modern Western civilization, he wrote extensively on Eastern religions, alchemy, sexuality, politics, mythology, and traditionalism, leading to the development of his “magical idealism” doctrine. He published many books, including Revolt Against the Modern World, The Hermetic Tradition, Men Among the Ruins, Eros and the Mysteries of Love, The Doctrine of Awakening, and The Yoga of Power.
