Revolt Against the Modern World is the only one I've been able to make my way through in its entirety. Men Amongst the Ruins has some good chapters, but also some really dry ones. Ride the Tiger was pretty much unreadable to me. I agree with this order

OP, Spengler is good but also really dense, Francis Parker Yockey's Imperium is a decent synthesis of a bunch of traditionalist thought, seen through an American lens. From my perspective, Imperium is the most readable of the various far right philosophical books of the twentieth century, Yockey is good at distilling various other writers down to their most important points, and he has some decent insights of his own. However, you'll probably not agree with everything he writes. For example, he comes down firmly on the side of pan Europeanism as a historical necessity, and I know that triggers yuropoors. He also advocates for Socialism, although he is basically using Socialism as a synonym for collectivism.

Spengler is certainly very dense and some chapters can be very dry, though, in let's say, Decline of the west, he spends at least 1-2 chapters discussing other philosophical perspectives, and does a good job laying down the groundwork for other relevant views. Especially the first 2 chapters in Decline.

Read Guenon first.

Hint: Traditionalism and White Nationalism are mutually exclusive.

this is the correct answer

ride the tiger is pretty dense

this is the final red pill

Why do so many people make threads with a slut as the pic? You horny or something?

sex sales.
gets attention.
duh.

Read "Path of Cinnabar" first. It is sort of an autobiography and lays the context for all of his writings within the phases of his life and history at the time. It is also really interesting because it has anecdotes from the years surrounding WWII and his interactions with fascism and national socialism.

...

If you want something to really shake up your political worldview directly, I would start with Revolt Against the Modern World and then proceed to Ride the Tiger. Evola's other works are good but those two combine to be his magnum opus, in my opinion.

Be warned though, user, it can be difficult reading. Takes a bit of determination to work through all of his Italian sentences running on for a whole paragraph.

Start with revolt. Ride the tiger and men amoung the ruins was when he gave up and realized we were fucked

You have to go back.

This seems good except I have the exact opposite view of Path of Cinnabar. It should be read first to out the other books in context.

To understand why things are fucked you need to go to the root of the problem. This book does that. If you're going to read just one book from him, read that.

Start with Revolt against the Modern World.

Shit, posted too soon.

I don't think you'd fully apprecaited Cinnabar without reading at least some of his other works first, though. I'm most fond of Yoga of Power and Doctrine of Awakening, as they're the most personally actionable.

revolt > ruins > ride the tiger

It probably doesn't matter that much if you read them within a short period. I read PoC (lol) after reading a bunch of them and wished I had read it first because it's sort of a guide to all his other writings.

'Notes on the Third Reich' and 'Fascism Viewed from the Right' will propel you into realms of red pill you previously thought impossible.

This is fucking stupid. You're conflating the words "purchase" with "consume" because you're an illiterate. As a concept the two are vastly different. Consumption, used in the derogatory sense, is akin to hedonistic satisfaction of materialistic desires in the moment, where as if I'm building a library to revisit as I study and cultivate my spiritual understanding of our strayed civilizations the purchases are more of an investment in my own future understanding in a lifelong quest of seeking wisdom. I'm building a physical hardback book study, which is no way consumerist or degenerate.

Faggot.

Nope, this is a category error. White nationalism is a political position, traditionalism is a cultural perspective and way of everyday life. Insofar as they are mutually exclusive, traditionalism would be doomed to oblivion, like a surf under Stalinist Russia. If you have no political platform from which to advocate and fight to conserve (unfortunate word) traditions then they will not be conserved.

The elite know this, which is why the NeoChohen kikes co-opted and subverted "conservatism."

Are you always like this you massive fag?

Correct, especially for Revolt.

If you're making it through even one chapter a day you're probably moving too quickly and need to slow down to really digest.

Maybe you should read Guenon yourself. He never even implies anything like this.

Is it just me or does his esoteric bent really destroy his arguments for tradition?

I mean he writes about magic for fucks sake!!

The much-vaunted high sexual performance of Negroes is really only of a crudely quantitative priapic character.

Lol.

Whoops, forgot the >

Even when we become intellectual philiosophers we are still talking about cucking

Skip Evola and read Codreanu.

Thanks, this is informative. I actually started with The Grail Mysteries because the subject is of particular interest to me.

I seem to be reading in the exact opposite order… I hope I don't fuck up my brain.

You sound like a fucking leftist.

Spengler created his whole book on the premise that race is a social construct, since the jew Boas had already spread his fake craneal correlations and created the meme that there is only one human race, except the chosen people of course.
It is still a must read even if it doesnt take into account the jewish influence or the possibility that the current european culture is the developement of the greek-roman cultures instead of a new cycle.
You should read Revilo P. Oliver, critique of Spengler and every single article he wrote.
He was a more recent ancient history scholar and had a better perspective of what was happening in the world, Spengler died before WWII.

Find a copy of "The Myth of the Twentieth Century" by Alfred Rosenberg. He was literally executied at the Nuremberg Trials simply for writing that book - look it up. The book provides a historical and cultural explanation of the origins of the 3rd Reich and why Aryans are awesome. There are also a series of youtube videos of an audiobook version with cool classical artwork throughout, if you want a taste.

Evola was a long winded weeb tbh.

its all equally meaningless maaaaaaaaaaaaan

is "poseurs," fgt

sage

Go ask /fringe/. The Evola meme is dead here. Go read Nietzsche and grow the fuck up.

Also slide thread

sage

this

Both are great authors, I don't know why you're suggesting they're exclusive.

sage

Because they are opposed to each other
Rosenberg = Natural reality
Evola = neet larping esoteric over-written bullshit
