Was he the best philosopher?

Thanks.
Never heard of him before /lit/, who is he and what has he done?

Evola. Gets pegged as a traditionalist, but he had some reservations. Rejected both capitalism and communism since they were both modern inventions and led to dehumanizing societies. Advocated ingestion of psychedelics given certain conditions.
File him under "critic of modernity" along with the rest of /lit/'s favorite boyos.

Only as a youth. He later opposed it entirely as a false means of spiritual and psychological ascension in 'Ride The Tiger'.

no, complete trash for idiots
read real philosophy
he had interesting ideas, but his works are hard to read
Guenon is much more straight forward
>>8247994
he belonged to the Tradition school, which tried to be as edgy and India-boo as possible
the kind who criticize fascists for being too 'modernistic'
Man's thought was a goddamned haunted house.
These niche philosophers are constantly revived to dupe a new generation of kids into repeating all the mistakes of the last century. Sad really.
lol ebola
His occultism ruins it for me.

His ideas on sexuality are really thoughtful and relevant. He was a great philospher. The best? I don't think so.
