Julius Evola on Dada / English subtitles

[gliamiadro]

He was very influential in one of the greatest Brazilian philosophers, Vicente Ferreira da Silva, brilliant writer also.

[thewinebottle]

how old was he in this video??

[TheBrewskiBaby]

In Camino del Cinnabro he stated clearly that Dada was not simply a sin of youth, but an effective method, Zen like, of transcending bourgeois weltanschuung.

2 @Wolfinglin This outer, 'stylistic' misunderstanding of what Evola tries to evoke by terms such as 'aristocratic', as if it simply were a question of some kind of aesthetic, seems to be very common among certain people, perhaps inevitably so for those approaching him from a worldly, political perspective.

[PanFascist85]

He's a very interesting person. I like him.

[baroh2413]

What is different about him and what makes him hard to understand is that he what he writes about has to be experienced... reading it is not enough

[baroh2413]

of all the things they could ask him about they ask him about how dadaism was practised in the 1920's Italy!!! I know he was a dadaist but come on... dadaism is only a footnote when you are speaking about Evola... he seems very enthusiastic about it though

[baroh2413]

He is unique.. i read him years ago and recently started reading him again.. I realised that i didn't "get it" then... His thoughts would be incomprehnsible to most people living in todays western socieities and people around me would probably consider me mad if i told them about "the baron"... maybe they would think i was a "terrorist"... his thoughts have to shared among the initiate and be "PRACTICISED" and "FELT" ... not "UNDERSTOOD"...

[NordishTerror]

He is so good, HAIL BARON! EVOLA EJA EJA ALALÁ

[lictor313]

ONORE A EVOLA...

Quel homme brilliant!

What a noble son of Europe!

[groslucas]

Noble son of Europe and of the World too...He encompasses more than a continent... Total Tradition...

[TheHOLLLLAAAA]

I'm happy to see you intersted on him. Great thinker.

[DarkFulanito]

He is very different from what i imagined.. he seems very friendly and open. I imagined a more reserved "aristocratic" individual

[Wolfinglin]

Yes, that's exactly what the video did to me. I mean, he is not really the type, of which he speaks in his books. He has something of a goblin ;-). But he's very deep and lively and sympathic. I started to really read the books only after this video. And in the moment I even begin to learn Italian to be able to read the Originals.

[jmelkis]

It may be the result of him having spent half his life in his apartment (after 1945) without having left with very few exceptions.  I do agree with your assessment.

[mastoidpelican]

@Wolfinglin Why he doesn't appear to you to be what he speaks of in his books, is because in them he isn't at all interested in speaking of mere appearence. Doing something like constantly going around hiding in a personal safebox of being 'reserved' and 'severe' without regard for whats the appropriate response to each given situation, would seem like the complete opposite of the inner attitude described by Evola in his works.

[jbmorgan]

Thanks so much for adding the subtitles! It's a pleasure to finally be able to understand what Evola is saying.

[NordishTerror]

I love Evola, a true master of philosophy
