The following essays all appeared in Vouloir 119–121 (1996), the supplement to the revue Orientations, edited by Robert Steuckers. They centre on Julius
Evola’s relations with the two major figures of Italian philosophy in the
interwar period.
In “Evola, ultime tabou?” (pp. 1–3), Gianfranco de Turris
asks if the rehabilitation enjoyed by such philosophers as Giovanni Gentile,
previously denounced as Fascist, might be afforded to Evola. He briefly
sketches the case in his favour: unlike the marginal crank of post-War
imagination, Evola seems to have maintained relations with such figures of the
first rank as Gentile and Benedetto Croce. In “Gentile/Evola: une liaison ami/ennemi…”
(pp. 3–5) Stefano Arcella examines Evola’s fertile collaboration with Gentile
and Ugo Spirito on the Enciclopedia
Italiana. And in “Quand Benedetto Croce ‘sponsorisait’ Evola” (pp. 5–7) Alessandro
Barbera investigates the Croce connection, looking in some detail at the
correspondence between Evola, Croce, and the publisher Laterza.
