Just listened to this whilst driving. Wonderful! Great but accessable scholarship. Im humbled by how well read you are sir. Glad to see a true scholar, unencumbered by narrow credentialed class blinkers, so all pervasive today . Many thanks.

This was a great video going over the works of Evola. All we need now is a video on AKC (Ananda Coomaraswamy), who is the other primary founder of the Traditionalist School is before it got hijacked by Schuon and became an imitation of Huxleyian Perennialism.

20:25 I actually came to know about Evola and Guenon and became interested in a whole bunch of thinkers because of one of Michael Millerman's video (On the 11 points). And now that I just found your channel you refer back to it haha

Very cool that you are open to reading anything and everything to expand your knowledge or at least consider other perspectives.

Excellent synopsis of Evola. I’ve spent years submerged in Evolas work. I’ve re-read and worked through so much of his thought and I see you have done Evola great justice in this video.
Very insightful. I look forward to learning much from you.
My best to you

Great content sir I can tell you are a very genuine man

Jimmylad.

thank you for sharing your erudition on these thinkers of the 20th century. I can not stress how grateful me, and the many other viewers of your channel, are to have systematically and orderly made video essays or discussions about not only traditionalist works but also your interest in occultism and the esoteric. Whenever I find myself needing someone to expound a notion of the traditionalist school of thought, I turn to your channel and I am so grateful to have all of this abundant information conducted by a experienced professor. Bravo sir.

Great intro to the works of Evola! That is also my project for the moment in a series of videos I'm making.

Great video as always. The way I see Evola in contrast to Guenon is that Guenon seems to deal with things in a very formulaic fashion, using terms which can be universally identifiable and understood regardless of which formal tradition one is a part of, whereas Evola seems to cherry pick terms and then references the associated principle as the [x] principle (the solar principle, the Olympic principle, etc.), but it also seems that Guenon was concerned with the ontological and timeless ordering of reality whereas I see Evola as more of a “travel guide for the Kali Yuga”. Both very necessary.
