Described equally Evola'south most influential work,[ane] it is an elucidation of his Traditionalist world view.

Revolt Against the Modern Globe is divided into two parts: The earth of tradition and Genesis and the confront of the modern world.[4]
The beginning part, the world of tradition, is a comparative written report of the doctrines of traditional civilizations where Evola indicates that the fundamental principles of the life of traditional man is manifested in the doctrine of two natures, the being of a physical order and a metaphysical one. It follows the indication of the way in which the human being of the tradition conceives police, state of war, property, relations betwixt the sexes, immortality, and race.[five] The second part instead contains an interpretation of history on a traditional basis: it starts from the origins of human being to arrive at the modernistic concept of evolution in the Darwinian sense which, co-ordinate to tradition, is considered a backslide, an involution.
The Beginning [edit]
Regality [edit]
Evola begins the second chapter of Defection against the Modernistic World stating that the traditional world is never perfectly realized in history. According to Evola, the key to tradition and what he supposes was the defining feature of the traditional earth, was the experiential knowledge of the two natures: high and low, being and condign, supernatural and natural. Then, Evola leads to promote the benign qualities of historical societies that embodied tradition.[vi]
"The traditional world knew divine kingship. Information technology knew the span between the two worlds, namely, initiation; information technology knew the two great means of budgeted the transcendent, namely, heroic activeness and contemplation. It knew the moral foundation, namely, the traditional constabulary and the caste system; and it knew the political earthly symbol, namely, the empire"[7]
—Julius Evola, Revolt Against the Modern World (1995)
From this, Evola concludes that the traditional world had no defining ideals so therefore, it had no theory of any kind. Without theory, there was no learning of such theory and without learning, no progress. Evola explains how any progress or alter from these traditional societies is involution rather than development, the study of history is only the study of decay. Evola appreciates how due to this, in traditional societies there was only adherence to the Primordialism, a unmarried ethnic identity, which he believes has been lost due to modernity.[6] [8]
In one case Evola characterizes traditional societies, he proceeds to dive into his metaphysical views of gender roles. As Evola divides the universe between higher up and below, he relates this to the supernatural and the natural. According to Evola, women are natural and men are supernatural. The male is self-subsistent while the female is dependent. In Evola's worldview, the office of the female is to be a mother and a lover, while the male'due south sole office is in state of war.[6] [seven] Evola justifies his idiosyncratic views on gender roles past relating it to Hinduism and Taoism.[9] [10] [11]
