Is Guenon generals the same as perennnialism general or is he different?

Has any Traditionalists wrote about Shintoism, Japanese Paganism? or Tengri?

Also what is the Hindu vs Buddhism position here?

Where do I start with Evola?

Thanks to the modernists fucking everything up.

Already mentioned, but Evola.

His refutations of Nietzsche and Heidegger are among the best I've ever read, and I've pretty much never encountered him outside rare threads on 4chan.

Haven't bothered with any of his /x/-ey, esoteric stuff though.

Evola.

Western civilization is gay shit for homo fags

Yay, another thread full of Evola memesters; rather than people who have actually read him.

They're not. ISIS are not riding the tiger, they are trying to fight it and control it. They picked a fight with modernity and modernity, in its current state, is far too powerful for the fight to be deemed admirable.

When a man writes a book that is a "survival guide", it should be obvious that waging war against the world is not a tactic he'd espouse.

If anything, Evola was a fucking stoic; most of what he writes is about staying 'true to yourself' (in the metaphysical sense) whilst experiencing which is in total opposition to that which you believe, and what you are.

The stoicism ends when the tiger runs out of steam, after which you can safely dismount and put it down; metaphorically with the principles you have preserved along its course. The tiger of modernity is still going strong, however; and you'd be a moron to think it's getting tired so soon. We're only a few thousand years into the Kali Yuga, to which Evola subscribed and which goes on for tens (and hundreds) of thousands of years.

Evola is more about 'enduring' modernity than resisting it. Let modernity run its course; stay true to your own in the face of it.

>General reactionary thought

Evola isn't really a reactionary by any measure. Indeed, most of his life was spent in opposition to the 'bourgeois residues' to which reactionaries wished to return.

That is why, for example, he was so involved with Dadaism; 'Traditional' art was merely one example of the residues which betrayed the eternal values of Tradition.

According to Evola's thought, you could create an entirely new form of art/music/etc tomorrow; and it would be just as 'Traditional' as the bourgeois/past forms of art/music/etc (if not moreso), *provided* it was in keeping with what he believed to be the eternal values of Tradition (truth, justice, etc).

Who wrote the best elitist view of art?
Looking for something to combat the post modern view of art.

Ehh, I wouldn't call Ayn Rand far right. She's much too individualistic to fit in with most of that crowd.
