The Myth of the Blood - Julius Evola - Argentina Bookstore - Book Sale Online

a) Introduction The work presented here is a text written on behalf of a major Italian publisher of the time ( Hoepli ) in 1938 at a time when racism was beginning to have a significant importance in this nation. Indeed, although in the beginning, the Fascist regime had never formulated as a priority the issue of race, growing close to the National Socialist Germany and the continuing crisis in the international situation worsened by the growing enmity with the Jewish community, especially through hostile foreign policies assumed in the relationship with the U.S. government in which it had a significant influence, caused such a problem in Italy empezase to take some precedence. To this was associated, by circumstances insults before the enactment of anti-Jewish legislation in that year which set limits that restrict the actions of this community within Italian society. This was what made ​the race problem, and closely associated with it, the Jew, empezasen to take such a society within a very prominent importance. In the work here Evola mented, depending on the precise custom publisher, is dedicated mainly present in the most uncritical and objectively as possible the history of the racist movement in order to explain the positions existing at the time present in the policy undertaken by the National Socialist regime, devoting a separate chapter is its main doctrine, Alfred Rosenberg, as even their leader, Adolf Hitler. It should be mentioned in this connection that, although not expressly made ​here, although it noted some excesses extremes to which such views may lead, our author disagrees fundamentally with both and several of his predecessors, especially Chamberlain, as can be gleaned from a careful reading of the text. But like here than it is to present as objectively as possible such doctrines, reserved for another work, The race of the spirit *, the systematic exposition of his views on the subject. Therefore the text presented here is a necessary and useful prelude to a better understanding of the major work here mented. However, as we noted one of the main commentators Evola, Renato del Ponte, are seen also in The Myth of the Blood significant touches of what will be his critical view of racism, especially in the way they are exposed such doctrines and highlighted its most troubled corners. It is noteworthy that this work is, as the race of the spirit , were bestsellers in their time, which however was not the case with other pieces of our author's earlier and more substantial, such as rebellion against the modern world or even Pagan Imperialism . For this reason and also due to the praise of Mussolini did those, and especially the second is that Evola was long known only as a racist author, as if that had been his main activity as a writer and, since turn racism was a Germanic component attached to Italian fascism in its last stage, the fame that he created was also having been a Nazi philosophical thinker. The truth is however, as we try to review as we did here and in other writings, Evola's racism has little to do with the hegemonic substantiate that during the Nazi period change resulting in extremely critical of it, especially officers of the slopes had more weight in such a regime. Of course this will not be obstacle to rescue some manifestations of the same, such as racism or even psychic Clauss certain experiences had with the Castles of the Order of the SS, but it is to narrow that they were expressions of any exceptional represented as the generality of the fen Made such qualifications necessary, in what follows, because certainly many people who have a particular reading of this book have not read The race of the spirit , and even if they had done it never hurts to think about it, we will to outline what, in our opinion, represents the essence of the doctrine of the race of Julius Evola and that in which contrasts with the national socialist, without pretending that it means in any way without the indispensable reading this text here mentioned.

b) Grounds of race in metaphysical Julius Evola Let us say first that, as framed in the whole of his thought, racism is just one chapter supplement. The primary goal of all the work undertaken by Evola is to rescue the values ​of a world that is now extinct and that there are only faint traces within a society that ignores not only daily but even tends order to form an increasingly antithetical thereof. The remains of such ancient traditional dimension is lost in a very remote time whose entity is also difficult to discern due to the partial and reductionist categorizations made ​by the modern. The same has been settled and reduced to a simplistic way that period with the derogatory nickname of prehistoric and primitive savage , that is, as representing only child of the past history of humanity still immature and budding, which would be found consummated in the present time most perfect of "progress" and "evolution." For our author on the other hand, if it is true that in this last "prehistoric" peoples are primitive and wild, they should not necessarily regarded as prior grades to an evolutionary process which would lead later to the present humanity, but rather it is also conceivable that they were the product of a decline in respect of something www.libreria-argentina.com.ar/libros/evola_mito_sangre.html

rather it is also conceivable that they were the product of a decline in respect of something higher and representing ethnic groups even extinct in some way can be treated as necessary antecedents of that civilization. In turn, although there are no "traces" that they brought, consisting mainly of bones and fossils, which in no way should be conceived as the only way to prove the existence of something, the unanimity with which the sagas of the great religions testify so we can speak of a different humanity and higher immortal character, coexisting also in the "prehistory" with or even before the "savages" and whose order represented, in the opposite of what today is the opinion current paradigm of normal human civilization. * From the sacred texts present in the most disparate geographical spaces as may obtain in their adaptation to the current lexicon, a conception of man and the world diametrically opposed to the currently existing modern . In that previous civilization was a kind of order in which the existence had a different sense than exists today. It was conceived as it is now reduced to mere referral and resolution in the mere fleeting life, repetitive and vermicular, but instead saw it as an act of transcendence and overcoming such a dimension that is as submission of the biological and material through the realization of eternity and divinity inherent within the depths of the subject, in what today is known as the spiritual dimension. From this perspective the traditional anthropology should be regarded as absolutely opposed to the modern. At that being alive was not conceived or as a fortuitous circumstance for which a sudden I found in a particular race or situation, or as the product of a fatality outside oneself for which imposes a certain way of not be chosen or decided by it, as conceived today, but was instead understood as a choice transcendental made ​before this very existence, was due to an accurate and timely goal that, out of the same dimension time, it was fixed. Being here and now, in this particular body, in this time and situation, in this particular community was not known for the traditional man as something absolute and exclusive in which exhausted the reality of self, but just like a instance more than precarious, superficial and transient, as a link in a chain of actions obedient all a purpose, a goal that was set oneself, to a measure that has been imposed on the basis of an objective to carry on within the multiple possibilities of manifestation of being. The existence of this mode is not a mere fact, a "history" that we should adapt so submissively and fatal and necessary, but a task and being here finds its meaning in this relentless pursuit that one should do about why and wherefore it happens that way and not another and very far to find. While the modern, as the prisoner of Plato's cave, is dedicated to measure and calculate the "reality" that is presented later without ever having asked for by what of it, instead the traditional man always wonders for the reasons past that determine to be in some way, trying to explain its meaning and what makes you so happen because of that one should be there in one way and not another. Why am I living here in this body, in this world at this time and situations and not others? What is the meaning of all this? Such are the questions being asked the man in the Tradition. In contrast, the modern, through its science and technology, has built a wall whose main function is to produce the forgetfulness and indifference about such essential questions and proposing an alternative that, as a true hallucinogen, "happiness" reduced to a mere pleasant life in which such "metaphysical problems" exist and are not permanently removed from our minds. And in order to produce such forgetting that he is shaken and stunned in increasing measure, it was found paradoxically, despite their alleged attempt to simplify technology for all, an existence full of artificial complications that modern society gives us with all its progress and chimeras, their alignments and ever new myths. sought himself, transcend, not be reduced to mere immanence of the environment and the environment: this is the main goal of the man of tradition. In this context is how we can find a first approximation to the idea of race in Julius Evola. Race is not a reality that is there as something external to oneself, in which chance has made ​us to meet casually, as it could have been otherwise change that was not beloved, but is something that has a sense, which must be revealed, conquered and held in a constant search trying to find in yourself what you really are over a succession of generations past and circumstances that go beyond this present life in which I am far. Life acquires a different meaning which gives modern man while she is not exhausted or resolved itself in the immediacy of the moment, but a continual transcendence and intentionality seek and find this deep, inherent also in the race itself, which is what binds itself to the size of the person, understood as the opposite of mere individual, is the task undertaken by the man in the Tradition. Designed primarily the doctrine of preexistence , point critical of the metaphysics of Evola and ultimate foundation of his "racism" is necessary to establish a precise link with two other insights that can also be found in traditional philosophers such as Plato or Plotinus, whose influence is very evident in the doctrine evoliana. The same can be gleaned from the precise formulation of two myths that are present in the thinking of such philosophers, the Reminiscence and that of Dionysus . For the first time conceived the existence of the subject area as an act of incarnation product of a decision transcendental, meaning it has two different things: first, to the extent that there has been an interference between two antithetical situations, a spiritual self that it was above and a body-space subjected to the vicissitudes of becoming, this has meant a tendency to forget the essential core of that I do, but on the other hand the fact of having come from

forget the essential core of that I do, but on the other hand the fact of having come from elsewhere has also been a drive towards transcendence gestated from such a deep origin. Words, if incarnate or living on the one hand represents a fall of level, as does the passage of the imperishable to the perishable, the other such a situation has the value of producing a reagent and a spiritual life whose intensity is not experienced in earlier stages. In humans coexist as two antagonistic tendencies. For the first movement has been a decline for which the self has gradually been losing the very essence dissolving into the opposite dimension, of a temporary space in a process that has spanned different times of degradation until arriving at the lowest dimension constituted our postmodern era and light in which the counter-trend toward elevation and transcendence, on the person, has virtually diluted and kept alive only in some in isolation. On the other instead tends instead to turn away from it and rise, feeling being in it as a mere stranger in a relentless pursuit of something higher because of the instance where it has been. The instrument that we have chosen for our spiritual purpose, namely the realization of eternity, at the time of surgery the act of incarnation in the space-time dimension, has been implicated as the severe risk of being dissolved and confused in it. Because of this anthropological dualism are two possible types of companies. That sorted according to the descent of man to the lower dimensions of becoming and of being forgotten, or else that of anagogical nature directed toward the elevation of it to your primary goal that is beyond what the mere life. From a traditional view of society and the world, far be ends in themselves, are responsible for providing us means lifting points, which are different according to the times in which they lived. A society fully framed in traditional values ​was characterized by the fact that whatever it was was ordered so as to facilitate the deployment of such superior orientation, the same as it was an order anagogical whose function was to raise the subject of immediate and ephemeral status to a dimension that transcended it. As people are clearly divided between two different categories of those who were more ( magis ) and thus formed the class of teachers ( magistri ), as were those who could rise to varying degrees on their own and those on the other hand, while lacking, needed another to do it: these were the disciples. The first were those who, having deployed further the level of spirituality and its dimension of person, that is to have full consciousness and memory of the existential goal itself, for that reason were guides and "initiated" the disciples, the which in turn is characterized by presenting itself as under a degree of docility that allowed them to be rectified. Of course this is exactly opposite to what happens today in a period of terminal decline "systematic education" in which the teacher is no longer just simply "instruct" or "literacy" and less than less educated , that is "correcting" the "student", which on the contrary, we must "respect" all of its spontaneous and purely material, instinctive and "social" at risk, should not do on time in be reputed as "authoritarian," and is therefore not in any way a paradigm to imitate, and therefore not properly a teacher, but just a more gregarious and many individuals within a given species. Education thus consisted of Thus an act of reminiscence by which man "remembered" the reasons why he was here and learned to live not only because there was something more than animal life found at birth, but mainly to die . While life was not all, death was not conceived as a nothing, as the act of absolute dissolution of the self that leaves us so suddenly and simultaneously necessary and random, the same way as before we started live. According to traditional optics it was instead a state of being, a certain time frame in a deep and lasting traffic consists of different possibilities and stages, according to the degree of momentous choice made ​and could be solved in different goals. A self that is "going" could then return to manifest reputarlo necessary, could also stop in the sequence of events and reach a state of stillness and lasting immortality, or just pass away and dissolve into nothingness as far as he succumbed in your company without having reached a "remember" as is what happens today mostly at this time composed of beings essentially fleeting, ephemeral and vermicular, simple images that shine and disappear swiftly as lights at night. While neither death nor life represented absolute states, which could not possibly be accepted was the presence of a single chance in the insults here, this is the democracy that, in both current and all-encompassing phenomenon, and also applies especially in the spiritual realm in all of the modern worldview, whether Christian Sustaining collective immortality attributed to every human form, as theosophical-sustaining reincarnation of universal salvation, which is nothing but a secularization of evolution, is postmodern , proclaiming the unique and unrepeatable existence, not before or since and which have to enjoy before we go away. All are equally one-dimensional concepts that map situations that would be inherent in all individuals equally and indiscriminately. For traditional man instead each for its existence elegy , according to the way it was developed, where to go , what he would do later in relation to their responsibility and there was nothing so imposed upon it in advance and complete before or after life, although he did not know it at the bottom, as happens among many of our contemporaries. The second myth, closely linked to the first, and of particular significance for understanding racism Evola is that of Dionysius . The same can be formulated as follows: Dionysus, the son of Zeus, is devoured by the Titans jealous, Zeus destroyed in revenge, but, overcome by www.libreria-argentina.com.ar/libros/evola_mito_sangre.html

nostalgia and grief for the lost son, from the ashes of these creates man. Therefore composed of two principles, divine one, as from Dionysius, corruptible and material on the other, while from the Titans. From which is on the leading man again two possibilities, two existential ways antithetical those reflected in turn in two races present in different degrees in oneself and with different names according to circumstances, which must be found and recreated in its full purity in order to be able to be purified in accordance with the momentous choice. Freedom from the titanic race, such is the ascetic task to make trying to find in which expressions of our own history it is opposed to the Dionysian race. Search for the divine, which is present is in itself and outside itself in different generations, this was the sense that the company had for Plato's philosophy. Forgetting this sacred origin is instead the attitude of the modern self. It is here where we can enter fully the issue of racism and see the two possibilities at the same: the biological racism whose sequel will end up represented by National Socialism Rosenberg and spiritual whose main exponent is to say excluding Julius Evola.

c) Two racism: modern and traditional. We have said that what is characteristic of the modern and contemporary society is the attitude of forgetting about what it is and where it comes, it having been made ​in degrees and different levels of intensity. Primal metaphysical oblivion regarding the reason for the existence and situation before it has kept forgetting about the past history of the community in which they live and also on the race to which they belong and their own characters. Being without race, without history, but not anonymous and sign up for the modern inveterate tendency to make tabula rasa of all that exists above the subject and the very immediacy, as if to recall the origin and the past represented an escape and distraction about the here and now it becomes as the only truly existing, the only goal to make. He is said to be no life on something that is as casual and a further meaning, but as the only true reality and therefore worshiped as such must offerings of the whole being, freeing it from any distracting or " alignment ". Filed with the same in a state of passivity which is dissolved in it assuming it as fatal and necessary and in which he has had to be independent of their will, thus reducing, with resignation and indifference and ignorance many others, to the condition part of a whole which transcends it, and therefore there was not anything in it that is found beyond the environment and "society" in which it is located. In turn, the "life" and "society" is formed in this way like a clay which gives it a particular pattern increasingly similar to that received by others, ie what it standardizes erasing any trace of his own personality even incipient extirpándole any form of memory of his last memory being a dimension that is in the innermost sphere of his I linked to your spontaneous impulse to want to refer to its original source and ultimate reasons explain their existence. In response, the act of looking within themselves, between the various existing guidelines, to their own race, that is, what it really is, therefore means transcending modernity. Is the impetus for wanting to know beyond the circumstantial situation where one is and thus try to find why and what we are here and now. The first observation that can do the spiritual racism is precisely from such a factual situation commonly found in our contemporaries, is indisputable claim that we are the product of an original mixture between two antithetical and antagonistic races: one is that manifests through that trend and plunge us in daily assimilated and another change is that we rise from this situation and urges us toward transcendence. We loved it simultaneously descendants of Titan and Dionysius, or also Hyperboreans and earthquakes at the same time, things that are a composite of heaven and earth, which is, in varying degrees, the presence of two antithetical directions. Man is thus a combination of two principles, one is the one that has resulted in the formation of the modern world and the other is represented by this desire, many still confused, wanting to transcend this reality around us. From the standpoint of spiritual racism being a modern circumstances is not fatal nor necessary, as they believe the men of that age, but the product of a particular race exasperated present ourselves as an impure form and defective and that should abate . It titanic race, the race of man fleeting and ephemeral to which models developed and extended passively, the subject immersed and reduced to mere temporality and becoming as it dissolves. Facing the same race is Dionysus, the divine, eternal, whose existence and recreation is subject to a test, to a holy war and interior to be achieved by the doblegamiento of modern man and exists in a titanic instituting the same direction. For the same we must become able to conceive of this existence not as an absolute, but a degree of manifestation enclosed in a purpose that transcends it. In turn and as an extension of such a contest held within the self, that inner conflict going on in the depths of himself between two antithetical races, is that it also operates another war, the rebellion against the modern world , which must be folded to restore the tradition surpassing the finite limits of the self. This war, but must start at the interiority of the subject, is infinite and therefore is not confined within the limits. This is because the spiritual and Dionysian race to be found in ourselves transcending the modern world. www.libreria-argentina.com.ar/libros/evola_mito_sangre.html

be found in ourselves transcending the modern world. therefore seek your own race and history essentially involves making a selection within themselves and the community in one direction is between contrary. Evola considered that, in the same manner as in a same inclinations are antithetical discriminated from these two sources, it is also possible to find it in any historical community outwardly through an exemplary signaling of different breeds. This means that in every community is manifested in varying degrees is a civilization and a history of man as a titanic quake and turn another man's Hyperborean and Dionysian, both developed simultaneously in the same circumstance. In Italy, for example, which is the immediate experience that our author is, he is such a dichotomy in what he termed as the antagonism between the Mediterranean and Latin race , as opposed to the Aryan, Roman or even, as submitted to its present, the fascist man (of course purifying fascism of all its many bourgeois connotations). Both are characterized by expression within the same historical and geographical circumstances these possible manifestations of modern character as the first impulse to settle in the very immanence and make simple "life" the goal of existence, and the second traditional designed as to what is above all that. In other texts we have referred to this dichotomy can also be highlighted Argentina's society the same way as in others, and which in our specific case opposed to the democratic man to man Malvinas , ie telluric spirit and bourgeois on the one hand, ready to graze in modern life and materialism, and the traditional heroic warrior on the other directed towards the denial and overcoming limits. Both had different historical manifestations in degrees also different in terms of duration and intensity. Do not forget that the race of man Falklands had a sudden burst with an unexpected war in 1982, which was then suppressed until today by the Democratic race of man , the true root cause of the deep decay of our country. Now, going to the particular circumstance of racism emerged in Europe in the last century with its sequel Final National Socialism, Evola considers that, taken by itself, represents a phenomenon that should reconocérsele positive characters, such as occurred for example in the case the nationalist movement. When nationalism rescues from oblivion the man to his past history versus abstract humanism and the Enlightenment liberal anonymous, this in itself represents a promising, yet even this does not mean just having emerged from the margins of modernity. He believes there may be a purely historicist nationalism to rescue the past without benefit of inventory and highlight it himself simply by being so regardless of the value possessed by it, and believing falsely that because the movement was to precede him universalist and anti-historical, for Thus every ideal of universality would be negative, and the story itself became the source of all truth. In both cases the man is being held in the immanence and movement that had begun to transcend it is thereby truncated generating a new fatalism and a new passivity and submission. As in the previous case the man must submit to the "unique reality" that presented absolute and fatally, now that the subject of submission and determinism would be represented by another reality "in fact" the homeland, their own cultural heritage and . Similarly there may be also a racism that, reducing the demand side of the race to its purely external and superficial phenomenon, ie as regards the body, complete with the community identifying it as it is presented with independence of the values ​it holds, be they positive or negative, accepting them simply because they are their own and not because they are really valuable in themselves . Thus racism, as well as certain nationalism, ends becoming one of the many degraded forms of modernity, which consists in assuming an attitude of passive acceptance of what exists by the subject and not discrimination and selection. In this case it happens through consistent adherence to a relativism in an obtuse and irrational exaltation of itself regardless of any higher value. Thus bourgeois and Enlightenment rationalism that makes abstract universal ideals outside the race and history for what seeks to subsume all that exists, it ends up opposing a consistent irrationalism in exalting the merely instinctive: in both cases the man is held in the field of immanence. Actually what it is instead of supporting what is more, not less than discursive reason , intellect, spirit, the ability to capture and realize the divine and transcendent self and others. In their rejection of such existential possibility in man is equally consistent liberal Enlightenment rationalism and irrationalism of Nazi racism itself, thus creating two distinct faces both in the same modern phenomenon. has happened in this way with such racism claim of race, rather than being conceived as a transcendent reality to look at yourself through an ascetic operating between opposing directions, it became a simple change in sacralization of immanence, rejecting the existence of a metaphysical dimension and reducing reality to what is purely material well assimilated that can be taken care with the pedigree of a particular living species, as happens with dogs or horses, resulting in a movement akin to the modern materialist scientism charged with identifying the man and animal. The consequence of refusing the existence of a higher dimension spiritual and divine in man and gave results that were reduced by the issue of race to a chapter pertaining to simple biology. Thus, as noted by Evola, racism has happened that, from a fair and positive claim which was the search of the origin in man, instead producing over the last blow that modernity could lead to confiscate yes to a category that still belonged to the world of tradition and had not yet been bastardized, the race, understood as metaphysical

to the world of tradition and had not yet been bastardized, the race, understood as metaphysical and sacred heritage present in the subject and has little to do with the animal world, although they can similarities exist purely external to it, which eventually may have value as a symbol or analogy, but in no way reduce the whole man. Evola However, unlike other authors critical of this movement which identifies with modernism, as it appears in the prologue and conclusion of this work, it is prudent to consider that, despite all the limitations insults here, the fact that even partially has made ​the problem of inheritance, although this has been reduced only a biological level and immanent, however, managed to be deepened if, as has happened in considered certain possibilities of National Socialism permanecidas unfortunately budding or abruptly aborted the war resolution, he could have recreated certain traditional principles as opposed to Socialists and environmentalists positions of modernity own force. In what follows we will summarize the main objections addressed Evola National Socialist racism with the intent required to rectify. 1) has reduced the race to a biological phenomenon thus leading to deny the existence in man of a transcendent dimension assuming the accusations so trivial that modernity has made ​ towards everything that is not material or "positive", to which also qualifies as a "double schizophrenia" of reality. That is, as has rejected the existence of a metaphysical dimension and the human one-dimensionally reduced to purely physical and materialistic, has deepened in this way the modern decadence. Although such racism, man is primarily a spiritual reality and the spirit is not an epiphenomenon of the body, such as mentors support such a move, because the higher can not be understood from the lower. 2) For this reason, race, that from a traditional point of view is presented as a thing to be searched and updated through a deep and unremitting ascetic activity, and that therefore there could be so great as in some who served only as a guide ( magistri ) for the rest of the community, is here reduced to a thing that is already made ​and available to anyone as long as no more is brought to birth, without having to step in the human will to do so, thus having no need for any of search or transform themselves, but simply to let this affect and determine fate hereinafter simply avoiding the presence of impure crosses. Once again the man is reduced to half that in this case is called pompous race. 3) The Nazi racism and links to the assumption of a relativistic cut nationalism promoted by the French Revolution and Modernity and conceived as failure of medieval universalism. For this race becomes part of an estate inherited is not chosen , but instead are chosen by them, so our only task is to make it endure and triumph over the other regardless of the value that it holds . It is from this perspective that, with the status of Aryan referred to the community, it is assigned to it in a unilateral and capricious character of superiority over the others. In this always remains undetermined whether one race is superior only because it is their own and therefore the subject's task is to make it beat in a fight for the triumph of the fittest, or if instead this fact amounts to be exceptional beneficiaries resulting it a "chosen people" despite their own will and not change a people who choose what direction to follow. In the case mentioned here is recreated Fichtean idealism for which the Germanic was considered synonymous with real and good and not opposed to Germanic or Germanic, was reputed as a disvalue change. * Those who are not part of this privileged people would be condemned to an irreversible state of inferiority. 4) may say so, despite the anathemas disqualifying directed toward Judaism really does not reject biological Nazism, but rather assumes the deepest spirit present either in their secular aspect as Talmudic , being in turn the same one of the main inspirations of modernity. This appears on your assumption of the concept of "chosen people", which also expresses here the idea of the existence of a race that would be superior to the others, they should accept his dominion. Just disagree with it to determine which of the two is in charge of directing the destinies of the planet, if the "Aryan" or "Jew." Today when certain political movements, especially left, talk about the affinities between Nazism and the Zionist Judaism, are not entirely wrong. 5) As established in a modern feeling and therefore consistent with the whole trend titanic mented before considering the superiority of race, Aryan Germanic in some cases, or just white in others, depending on certain achievements that occurred at the level of science and technology. That sentiment today is also proper to Europeans and Americans who extol the same way the superiority of their civilization in terms of its major technological and economic capabilities, which also justify our subordination to his vision and all-encompassing globalization. d) Racism and Judaism Once rejected the concept of self-chosen people or race of certain modern expressions such as Nazism biological and Talmudic Judaism, the ultimate say in relation to the approach in this work our author gives us the Jewish problem. In Firstly it does not exist for a people who today owns the exclusive character of the spiritual race Hyperborean, or simply traditional Dionysian. This divine element is present in all communities regardless of their skin color or geographical location in which be. There may be some past history that possess a greater degree than others to enable them to make such a race within a better way and better possibilities. But nothing is given in advance. It is true that

race within a better way and better possibilities. But nothing is given in advance. It is true that white blond, Western and Northern may in some cases have had a closer relationship with these values, just as a medieval man has found it easier to access the spiritual dimension of light and society rockeada postmodern. However, as the Gemini said: "we are closer to a Bantu, with all the limitations that has body and tribal culture, although it has remained true to their gods, that of a Swedish or Norwegian blonde right with your body, but spiritually is an outgrowth is reduced and resolved in a life of hedonistic character. " Just as today we are much closer to the Arabs Semites or even dark-skinned black African and Somali offered up in prayer five times a day and fighting as martyrs fighting monks and spiritual tradition of his people that those Americans Yankee or European white and blond and even fine manners and polite, but dedicated as a society drunk endless consumption. has been an undoubted merit Evola have separated the idea of race from the doom and determinism. Is chosen not by a race, but race is something that is chosen . There are neither elected nor races races convicted, each man has the possibility of finding within himself the spiritual and higher own race and the ways it should be found in civilization, history and religion which is part because they are our own language. Of course there are more or less chance of embodiment, in the same way that not all times identical brassieres have been provided for the realization thereof. A traditional society was one in which every action and every rite was actually a symbol that allowed rise from this material. In a desert twilight like now where virtually all props have disappeared is extremely difficult but not impossible that purpose. However it is also possible that the great mystics who may be here because we wanted to give us a measure difficult testing us "as gold by fire." We can finally make one final objection to the treatment in this work is the Jewish issue , which, as we said, by the limitations of a simple statement of a problem and the circumstances of the time, must be partial. We said that racism in Evola is not fatalistic. You are not doomed to be part of a chosen race, but must always choose between different existential guidance of the spirit of race as it is concerned. That is not therefore a determining factor being born into a race or a particular people if you are not able to recreate within the same positive factors and those of a spiritual nature that need updating. Now, to deal here with the Jewish problem we see how our author, noting the corrosive and deleterious factor produced by such a community within nations, so that at some point come to define it as an anti-race, but leaves in suspense concerning the possibility of redemption that it may have to overcome such deleterious condition. In this regard anti-Semitism has produced two different manifestations in Europe. The Catholic solution was for years to consider that the resolution of this problem going through the conversion of the Jewish religion itself. Through it, the recognition of the true Messiah, the Jewish people would cease to be convicted or even, as manifested in our July Meinvielle, this would be the end of history. The Nazi solution is instead the opposite, though the Jew becomes, will never cease to be such, for this reason the proposal was to expel him from the community and even encourage their settlement in a given territory. Such a position is very deep affinity with Zionism. The European war circumstances prevented the realization of such a result and the sequel known as the Holocaust, regardless of the veracity of his figures represented the failure of such a solution. In this work our author shares the idea that the conversion does not change the essence of the Jew, but about what would be your solution? How to turn in another text Evola said that while Judaism has been secularized subversive who has abandoned one's religious tradition, but returning to it would not take away that status to the extent that it is also present a double standard based on a sense of universal dominion, which appears in fundamental sacred texts like the Talmud, it seemed then, and such was the criticism that effected especially from sectors Marxists, that addressing this issue contradicts our author his doctrine of the race. Although he argued that man is free in relation to race, however there would be a historical subject, the Jew, which is always doomed to be a certain way. Despite this we have pointed out elsewhere * note that while this issue is not clearly stated by our author elsewhere, might seek a different solution of the same through the analysis carried out in his major work Revolt Against the modern world , for Judaism. There he also notes that this religion has been a way solar and therefore Traditional and modern, mainly expressed in the form of kings, but also present in certain prophet-founders of such people as Jacob who reaches his blessing to through doblegamiento of divinity. Later also in that town, as elsewhere, will come the domain of priests and therefore a passive religion, lunar and submission, which is stereotyped with the diaspora, with room to Talmudic Judaism mented before. The solution to the Jewish evoliana because it would not be converting to another religion, nor to remain in its current state be

We hope these reflections have been used to carry out an approach to Evola thought regarding this burning issue of race and contributed in our attempt to free him from the prejudice that www.libreria-argentina.com.ar/libros/evola_mito_sangre.html

ventured, in a captious and ignorance in some other, that is author is a pro-Nazi, as usually understood this phenomenon. Let's say in conclusion that this work was first released in 1938 and had a second expanded edition in 1942. For circumstances not entirely clear when it was reissued in the post-war first did it again, through Ar editions in 1979, with the first edition until 1995 Renato del Ponte reissue the second in 1995. The latter has been our translation. Marcos Ghio Buenos Aires, 09/05/06
