Julius evola trial#
In a trial in 1951, Evola, who denied being a Fascist, referred to himself as a ‘superfascist’. He admired the SS head Heinrich Himmler, whom he knew personally, and spent World War II working for the Nazi SD. Historian Aaron Gillette described Evola as "one of the most influential fascist racists in Italian history." Evola was admired by the Italian Fascist leader Benito Mussolini.
It is a singular (though not necessarily original) blend of several schools and traditions, including German idealism, Eastern doctrines, traditionalism, and the all-embracing Weltanschauung of the interwar konservative Revolution with which Evola had a deep personal involvement." Evola also remains controversial because of views that are now largely considered politically unacceptable, such as his views on gender roles, race, and left-wing politics on the whole, as well as making some antisemitic statements.Īccording to the scholar Franco Ferraresi, "Evola’s thought can be considered one of the most radical and consistent antiegalitarian, antiliberal, antidemocratic, and antipopular systems in the twentieth century. Baron Giulio Cesare Andrea Evola ( Italian pronunciation: – June 11, 1974), better known as Julius Evola ( / ˈ dʒ u l j ə s ɛ ˈ v oʊ l ə/), was an Italian philosopher, painter, and esotericist.Įvola was a highly controversial figure, mostly because of his affiliations with the Italian Fascist leader Benito Mussolini, who, as one of the defeated leaders during World War II along with Adolf Hitler, has been described in a highly negative light since World War II, though Evola was often highly critical of fascism during Mussolini's reign.
