Bowden on Evola
Jonathan Bowden lectures on Julius Evola:
Part 1 of 7. Watch the rest of the rest of the lecture at Bowden’s website, or click on the links that appear at the end of each video.
Jonathan Bowden is a writer, artist, one of England’s leading culture critics, and a spokesman for the New Right. We are less than enthusiastic about Bowden’s artistic explorations of irrational subjectivity, dreams, and subconcious impulses, but his understanding of the history of Western politics and culture is sophisticated.
Bowden views the present supremacy of global socialism as unsustainable, a dark period of mass propaganda and mass slavery which we must temporarily endure. We badly need cultural heroes to guide us to a value space that will foster the emergence of warriors and heroes. Evola’s rejection of mass materialism and his positive aristocratic orientation of “looking upward” provides one alternative framework to the reigning leftist cult of equality, degradation, perversion, and primitivism. We agree with Bowden and Evola that the source of our future vigor lies in the best traditions of European art and culture…”even if you don’t quite believe in them.”
