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

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
