Book: Social and Political Thought of Julius Evola
An Italian philosopher's intellectual influence on violent neo-fascist groups and the (democratic) European New Right alike is the theme of a recent book by Paul Furlong (Cardiff University), "Social and Political Thought of Julius Evola" (Routledge, April 2011).
Quote: "Julius Evola's writing ... 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 ... 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."
